I have a question about the BGP Path Decision Criteria #4:
#4: If all local preference attributes are equal, select the path that was
originated by BGP running on the local router.
Could someone give an example of this? I just can't understand when a
router would even bother selecting a path it was advertising itself. Is
this more of a transit issue? For instance, your neighbor gives you a path
to a certain destination that you are also advertising and since BGP only
advertises the best path you would select the path that was being
advertised by you (assuming weight and pref are equal) when you advertise
your paths to other neighbors.
