With the
bestroute compare-med
command configured, the router puts routes received from the same AS
into a group. The router then selects the route with the lowest MED from the same group, and compares
routes from different groups. This mechanism avoids the above-mentioned problem.
If the
bestroute compare-med
and
balance
commands are configured at the same time, the
balance
command does not take effect.

Usage guidelines
This command 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,
