Um, Cisco uses as length and igp metrics in the route selection process. This is hardly in compliance with the RFC.

Actually, IGP metric is just fine, it's 9.1.2.1.b in RFC 1771.

I read that section of the rfc, and yes, that is correct. Thanks for pointing that out. --Russb

Use of AS path length is, as you say, hardly in compliance.
