BGP, while a distance vector protocol, famously does not take latency into account when making routing decisions.
Unless overridden, BGP takes -distance- into account where distance = AS path length. Centurylink has overridden that with a localpref so that it DOES NOT take distance into account. Which rather defeats the function of a distance vector protocol. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin bill@herrin.us https://bill.herrin.us/
