So what would be the behavior if I set the community for Cogent to set the Local Preference to 50 in terms of transit traffic? Does that mean that Cogent's originated traffic would use ATT but Cogent's peers (with a shorter AS path through Cogent) would still traverse Cogent even though the lower local preference is there? I'm not sure about BGP's behavior here or is that ISP specific configuration?

Looks good to me except that you forgot prepends on Cogent Out Internet, so that people who have a choice between Cogent and ATT don't send to Cogent. -- HTH, Nathan _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
