Hi all,
I plan to use bgp_aigp instead of bgp_med to find the optimal route based on incremental pings per node. For example, if the delay between one node and another node is 40, then bgp_aigp increases by 40 after passing this ibgp.
void bgp_aigp [O] This attribute contains accumulated IGP metric, which is a total distance to the destination through multiple autonomous systems. Currently, the attribute is not accessible from filters.
But it seems I can't modify this value?
Hi You cannot modify bgp_aigp - total distance, but you can modify per-hop distance, which is added to it automatically in each (inter-AS) step. It is either regular IGP metric (e.g. the attribute 'ospf_metric1' in case of OSPF), or manually configured one (the attribute 'igp_metric'), or configured cost of inter-AS link [0]. [0] https://bird.network.cz/?get_doc&v=20&f=bird-6.html#bgp-cost I think that using bgp_aigp is the right tool for your use case, but details depend on specific topology of your confederation - whether each internal AS in the confederation is nontrivial network with IGP, flat network, or just one router. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
