BGP MED

"The MED provides a dynamic way to influence another AS in the way to reach a certain route when there are multiple entry points for that AS. BGP follows a systematic procedure for choosing the best path. There are other important attributes such as weight, local preference, originate route, and AS path that are taken in to account before considering the MED attribute. So, if any of these criteria matches, the MED attribute will not be considered."
