Re: BGP Best Path Selection

Zeeshan,

You are on step 8 right here:

The lowest metric to the next hop would be next. In order for multiple paths
to be selected, the metric to the next hops should be equal. If they are
equal then you will move onto the next stop where multiple paths can be
installed.
