Perhaps I have not understood the Implementation correctly but this looks like a bug to me: network XX.XX.64.0/22 set med +10 ... ... neighbor $ISP1_ROUTER1 { descr " Peer ISP1 R1" local-address XX.XX.213.27 announce self tcp md5sig password XXXXXXXXXXXXXX depend on sk0 holdtime 25 set med +10 } will not result in a med of 20 but only in a med of 10 network XX.XX.64.0/22 set prepend-self 1 ... ... neighbor $ISP1_ROUTER1 { descr " Peer ISP1 R1" local-address XX.XX.213.27 announce self tcp md5sig password XXXXXXXXXXXXXX depend on sk0 holdtime 25 set prepend-self 1 } Will only extend my AS-PATH by 1 and not by 2 Manon [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature]
