*Open, Oldest route (promotes stability :)
In, Lowest peer ID
Iowa, Lowest router id (obviously this would probably imply two peering
sessions to the same neighbor somewhere)*

   1.

   Prefer the route that comes from the BGP router with the lowest router
   ID.

   The router ID is the highest IP address on the router, with preference
   given to loopback addresses. Also, you can use the *bgp
router-id*command to manually set the router ID.

   *Note: *If a path contains route reflector (RR) attributes, the
   originator ID is substituted for the router ID in the path selection
   process.
    2.

   If the originator or router ID is the same for multiple paths, prefer the
   path with the minimum cluster list length.

   This is only present in BGP RR environments. It allows clients to peer
   with RRs or clients in other clusters. In this scenario, the client must be
   aware of the RR-specific BGP attribute.
    3.

   Prefer the path that comes from the lowest neighbor address.

   This address is the IP address that is used in the BGP
*neighbor*configuration. The address corresponds to the remote peer
that is used in the TCP connection with the local router.

Thanking You

Yours Sincerely
