Hi Every friend in GS

I am having a small question that I am confused.

For the BGP bestpath selection, weight and local-preference are used to
affect how traffic leaves AS, but how can I choose one of them . As I konw ,
Weight is only local to the router, but what does it really mean? In what
scenario I have to use local-preference instead of weight to affect traffic
leaves AS ? Any examples? Appreciated with that.

Dennis
