Hi all,

As I mentioned in the mic at the end of the previous session.

The MED attribute is often also used by content providers to be able
to manage outgoing traffic by affecting the selection criteria when
there is a tie in the ASPATH.

This "new" use of the attribute (rather than the "cold potato" routing
mentioned) is very well described in this NANOG presentation:
