To clarify: this is the way *Cisco* does it. Information gets collected
inside routing processes, routing processes (here: BGP) select a "winner"
amoing all candidates (= 1 route out of many BGP paths), and the result
goes to the FIB (if it's the protocol with the best preference).
As far as I understand, Juniper handles this a bit different, with no
separate tables for "inside BGP" stuff, so things might look different
there.
