Hi Joe,
You seem to have missed his question. He wants to know if Origin can be used to influence policy for outgoing traffic. I have not tested it but i think althought not common, Origin could be used, similar to Weight or Local Pref. It's a simple verification, but i am not have access to lab right now.

As long as the "incomplete" is set upstream, either by route-map or simply redistribute static into BGP, the receiving AS will use the incomplete to make its outgoing decision if other I or E attributes are found on other competing BGP paths...
Is this standard? No, as we have MED for this reason, but its one way to do it... others are of course MED, AS path length prepends, etc.

GS,
i tested Origin Incomplete by using route-map to influence incoming traffic
and it works but in one CCIE practice lab book they used it to influence
outgoing traffic. Any comment?
Thanks
Moh
