BGP Multi-Exit Discriminator (MED) & LOCAL_PREFERENCE Path Attributes

The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is all about manipulating routing policy in both the inbound and outbound direction. However, while you have full control over how traffic will egress from your environment, you can only try to influence the ingress flow of traffic to your Autonomous System (AS). This video tutorial will walk you through the use and application of the Multi-Exit Discriminator (MED) and LOCAL_PREFERENCE BGP path attributes and demonstrate just how they are used! Enjoy!
