   The BGP specification defines a Decision Process for installation of
   routes into the Loc-RIB.  This process takes into account an
   extensive series of path attributes, which can be manipulated to
   indicate preference for specific paths.  It is cumbersome (if at all
   possible) for the end user to define policies that will select, after
   partial comparison, a path based on subjective local (domain and/or
   node) criteria.

   This document defines a new Extended Community, called the Cost
   Community, which may be used in tie breaking during the best path
   selection process.  The end result is a local custom decision
   process.
