i have 2 equal cost routes learned via ospf (both have a metric of 37)...what
does the asterisk mean, especially when its toggling (one minute, one path is
better & then the next minute, the second path is better)...i researched the
cisco docs but i can't find anything on this...does it mean:
1. its the preferred path? if so, based on what?
2. it was the last path used? if so, why? does it have anything to do w/
switching modes (such as fast, process, autonomous or distributed)
