   I'm not saying I want to compare MEDs across AS, just that if
   local-pref ends up the same I don't want a routing loop.

Ah.  But then the real request is that there needs to be a consistent
tie-breaker after equal local pref's.  Agreed.

   If you want to finess it with Rich Woundy's MED election rather than
   comparing MED across AS to avoid loops, then fine.  The group seems to
   have come to consensus so please don't get pissed and start proposing
   new attributes.

Me?  Get pissed? ;-)

   We seemed to have already reached consensus on the list for Rich's MED
   election.  We still don't have a proposed change in the BGP4 text.  If
   Rich is busy I'll write something.

Cool.  Then at least we'll really have something solid to argue about.  Me,
I liked John's changes...  ;-)
