Exactly! Of course, I have ran networks before where the defaults remained the same, i.e., 20 for eBGP and 200 for iBGP, and this worked well because all eBGP routes belonged to foreign AS's, which would never appear in our IGP to cause a conflict in the first place. But I'd always recommend that one equalizes the AD to 200 for BGP in IOS, for the reasons already mentioned. It's a shame we still see the old defaults even in IOS XR. Mark.
