Okay, I'm curious if anybody knows (or can provide a link) that explains the
different ways to override those BGP methods that are higher in the
selection process.

To leave the AS, Weight and LP.

For traffic coming in, AS-Path, and MED.

So, is there a way to only take into account AS-Path, for example (even
though it is further down the list)? Effectively ignoring the other methods
(weight, lp, which are taken into account first). Obviously I know of the
always compare med, but I was curious about possibly any other ways to
override things that are higher up in the selection process.

Thanks!
