RE: DLSW Cost

Here is something I came across. Apparently no mater what you configure on
the remote peer statement, it will never display in the show dlsw
capabilities on the router with the remote peer cost.

Note The output of the show dlsw capabilities command displays the cost
learned from the other devices rather than what is actually configured on
the local peer. For example, the output of the show dlsw capabilities
command on Peer A will show a cost value of 4 for remote peer B and a cost
value of 2 for remote peer C. To determine the cost configured on the local
device, issue the show running configuration command on the local peer.

This excerpt came from the following document

Subject: DLSW Cost

Hi, ccielab#!

I am setting dlsw on my lab. The following is my config:
R1:
dlsw local-peer peer-id 1.1.1.1
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 2.2.2.2 cost 1
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 3.3.3.3 backup-peer 2.2.2.2
dlsw bridge-group 1

R2:
dlsw local-peer peer-id 2.2.2.2
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 1.1.1.1
dlsw bridge-group 1

R3:
dlsw local-peer peer-id 3.3.3.3
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 1.1.1.1
dlsw bridge-group 1

I think you can understand my config. I want to let "remote-peer 2.2.2.2"
decrease its cost. But when I show the "dlsw cap" on r1 & r2, I see the cost
is not change. When I decrease the cost on "local-peer", I can see the
change.

I find the following words on cisco site:

Although configuring cost on a peer is not required, it can be used to
control which path the sessions use. Cost can be specified on either a dlsw
local-peer or a dlsw remote-peer command. When specified on a dlsw
local-peer command, it is exchanged with remote DLSw+ peers as part of the
capabilities exchange. The cost configured on the dlsw remote peer command
overrides any cost value learned from another devices dlsw local peer
command.

The following is "show" :
R1:
R1#sh dlsw cap
