Hello,
Can I just think of the two BGP attributes LOCAL_PREF and MULTI-EXIT_DISC in
the following way.
LOCAL_PREF = To influence a path to a network outside my AS from my AS ->
outbound path selection
(shared between iBGP peers)
MULTI-EXIT-DISC = To influence to an external AS which path to take coming
to a network in my AS <- inbound path selection
(used "ONLY" with eBGP peers)
Is this about the crucks of it, or it it dangerous to think of these two
attribs this way. Just during my study, my brain is full up and I cant get
too much more in there me thinks.
Many thx indeed.
Ken
