OSPF increase bandwidth with load-balancing
There's two ways to do that.
your proposed way, by adding a second link with its own /30 or /31,
making sure that OSPF installs multiple equal cost routes in the

Junos VRF equal-cost, multi-next-hop static routes not balancing
It appears that you're applying the load balancing policy to the routing-instance. It needs to be applied to the forwarding-table in order for it to perform ECMP on the forwarding plane.

What's the difference between interdomain and intradomain load balancing?
Two paths with equal cost is often called equal-cost multipath (ECMP) mechanism. ECMP often works well, but there are a few caveats. Before you get to the issue of running BGP over parallel links, it’...
