Okay, I have to vent here. This kind of question really bugs me. And not
because of the answer, which I agree with. It just bugs me because the
question assumes all routing protocols behave in the exact same way, when in
fact they do not. My first thought when I read this question was "Hey - BGP
prefers external over internal."
So, question-writers, please take note: when writing a question, please
write a *complete* question. In this case, if the author had simply
metioned "IGP routing protocols," none of you would be suffering through
this rant. ;-)
We now return to our regularly scheduled mail list. Flame on.

5) This Week's CCIE Challenge Question
***********************************
What is the principal reason that external routes are
always less preferred than internal routes?
a) Performance is more predictable, since you know the
end-to-end path for an internal route.
b) Since you control all the resources used for an internal
route, you have a better chance of troubleshooting it.
c) It is a loop avoidance technique.
d) Routers process internal route information faster than
external information.
