By the way, this general fact about BGP (external announcements are governed by internal route selection) also means that for Randy to always announce the same route to his peer, he would have to change his own, internal routing policy to do cold-potato routing to one of the two candidate paths. This doesn't seem like a reasonable thing for a peer to demand he do. Well, if that "candidate path" is, in fact, one of Randy's customer, then I would expect him to "cold-potato" route toward it. One would think that to be part of the service that his customer is purchasing. I certainly shouldn't have to do "cold-potato" routing to his customer, as that customer isn't purchasing anything from me. --Vince
