The OSPF state machine always prefers an E1 route over an E2 route.
There's more stuff like multiple areas and ABRs, ASBRs and all that
which I don't really care about for a couple dozen routers and a single
AS. But I've always used E1 for the default route. Don't ask me why.
Mostly because I don't remember. But it was probably some MikroTik bug
at some point.

So why is type 2 the default on most routers? For what reason would
you use an E2 over an E1?

Ooooo. They are all going out as Metric-type 2

Correct. A is distributing default route. Directly to C (in theory
but not happening) and to B which is distributing to C currently.
This is edgeOS.
I’m actually not sure. I’ll have to check on E1 vs E2.

OK, so only A is distributing the default route. as-type-1 or
as-type-2? E1 takes path costs into account. E2 does not.
Bounce a neighbor and see if it fixes itself. I assume RouterOS.
I've seen weird stuff like this happen before.

Only one - the Long one.
The things connected to A take the direct path but the default is
not coming through for some reason.

How many default routes show up in the LSA table?

OSPF question:
A—-B—-C
And
A——C
A is the Internet peering router.
C should end up with two default routes in it correct?
One through B and one directly to C?
What’s odd is everything on A populated on Cs route table as
direct routes - except for the default route.
