HI, Do you know any product that perform layer 3 load balancing for two router. I do not want layer 4 or upper layers balancing. linux application or whatever?
THanks.
 
You can obtain this through Cisco IOS if you have a few qualifications:

Two WAN connections terminating off the same two routers, IP CEF enabled on both routers. All static routes pointed to the serial of each connection and finnally an IP load-sharing statement in the config to control exactly how you want the packets shared.

You can also do loadsharing with multiple routers and ISP's via BGP.
