Enabling MED comparison for routes from confederation peers
This task enables BGP to compare the MEDs of routes received from confederation peers. However,
if a route received from a confederation peer has an AS number that does not belong to the
confederation, BGP does not compare the route with other routes. For example, a confederation has
three AS numbers 65006, 65007, and 65009. BGP receives three routes from different confederation
peers. The AS_PATH attributes of these routes are 65006 65009, 65007 65009, and 65008 65009,
and the MED values of them are 2, 3, and 1. Because the third route's AS_PATH attribute contains
AS number 65008 that does not belong to the confederation, BGP does not compare it with other
routes. As a result, the first route becomes the optimal route.
