Say I'm multi-homed to two providers. I have multiple links into provider A
and want to use a MED to influence the path taken from that AS into my
own... Since provider A will be learning a route into my network from
provider B, will the MED be used within provider A?
Excerpt from the Cisco documentation "This comparison is only done if the
neighboring autonomous system is the same for all routes considered, unless
bgp always-compare-med is enabled." This is a little unclear to me since
the comparison of AS_Path should have eliminated the provider B route and we
should only have the two routes to compare now, which are from the same AS
so MED seems relevant...
I'd test this before asking, but someone is cramming for their lab next
