The cost in the local peer statement is the cost you advertise to
remote peers. The cost on a remote peer statement sets that peers
cost, and overrides the cost you receive from a remote peer. So
if peer 172.14.7.7 below was sending you a cost of 4, you'd ignore
it and assign 5 to the peer.

Note that if you do show dlsw capabilities for that peer, you'll
see the cost the peer advertised, not the cost you set.
