I have a router that is running BGP to two different providers... When I show the bgp entry for two different routes, it shows that one provider is selected for one route, and the other provider is selected for the other route, even though they seem to have the same AS path length from each provider. There isn't any difference as far as I can tell for MED or local preference settings or anything like that... The route on the bottom looks normal - its being chosen (I assume) because the 64.*.*.* has the lower router ID (207.* instead of 208.*). The first entry is the one that doesn't make sense to me - shouldn't it also be selecting the 64.* router, by virtue of its lower ID? I see that there are different values for the "version", but I'm not sure this would have anything to do with it??
