Its pretty simple actually.  Basically they both accomplish the same thing.  But the local pref is exactly that.  Local to the AS.  MED values are carried in to the next AS.  But, when an AS receives a MED value it does not propogate that value to other AS's.  Maybe someone else can explain it a little better.        John     Kristopher B.
