It says "The SF router will compare the two metrics from ANET and will
prefer the SJ router..." When the "BGP always-compare-med" command is used
on the SF router, it will compare it with all the metrics from other AS's as
well.
The MED influences decisions on how another AS can enter your AS if there
are multiple ways of entering your AS. If you want the MED to have a
"Global" effect, you must use the "BGP always-compare-med" command so the
router will use the MED to make routing decisions between different AS's.

Hi All,
Reading MED this morning, there is a diagram o page 167, Figure 6-13. It
explains that a MED with a lower value takes perference, but reading the
explaination of the figure it says it will prefer the SJ router (MED=120),
I would have thought the NY router with MED=50 would have been preferred?
It says it is comapring 3 different sources.. Is it just to early in the
morning or am I clearly missing something?
Cheers
