Simon,
You're assuming that only one AS is generating 180.10.0.0; however, both
AS300 and AS400 are generating it which makes their AS_PATHs equal.
Kevin
// In their scenario, an AS (a) is generating a route and advertising that
// route to another AS (b). The same AS generating the route (a) is also
// advertising the route to a 3rd AS (c) who is advertising that route to
(b).
//
// Regardless of what the MED metric is set to from (a) to (b) or (c) to
(b),
// the MED will not be a contributing factor because the AS-path from (a) to
// (b) is shorter!! As-path has a higher factor in path decision than
MED!!!
//
//
// Have a look at the link, it's a very straight forward scenario!!!

// Nope...you're making an assumption that does not fit their scenario...
