you're right MED is used for outgoing routing decisions, but... 1.as a optional nontransit path-atribute, it's only important for the neighboring AS. as such, it determines the neighboring AS outgoing decisions, not our own AS ones. e.g if you change MEDs in our routing updates, it causes change only in your neighbors.
2.what the previous posting meant, is modifying the MEDs in the updates, we are getting /at R3? from R1 and R2. As doing that, you can force your outgoing policy, without modifying/as in the original posting terms/ as-path /prepending/ or local-pref change. -rado Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=54874&t=54429 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
