Explanation

A: Internal BGP (IBGP) sessions use a metric called the local preference, which is carried in IBGP update packets in the path attribute LOCAL_PREF. When an autonomous system (AS) has multiple routes to another AS, the local preference indicates the degree of preference for one route over the other routes. The route with the highest local preference value is preferred. D: BGP does not take bandwidth into consideration when determining the best path. By using AS path prepending, you can lengthen the AS path that routing devices advertise to neighbors to make the neighbors calculate the path to be longer than it actually is. routing- policy-to-prepend-to-as-path-configuring.html
