You could put a MED in of 2^32-1 if you wanted to and it would still be legal. You would still interoperate. And your customers would get cranky. > ...the fact that Juniper and Cisco chose sensible things to do > is not an argument for the spec to be silent, is it? And why do most routers tend to send a localpref of 100 by default? Do you think that should be in the spec as well? I sincerely hope not. > Also, didn't the old spec say to treat a missing MED as all 1's? In -14, it says the lowest possible value, which until it was clarified, could be considered to be smaller than a value of zero. -- Jeff Haas NextHop Technologies
