Hi,
I was reading bgpd.conf(5) on how to set the weight. It says:
> For prefixes with equally long paths, the prefix with the larger
> weight is selected.
However, in bgpd(8), it says:
> 8. The path with the lowest local weight is selected.
I went to read rde_decide.c to find which is right, prefix_cmp()
comment says
> Returns an integer greater than or less than 0, according to
> whether the prefix p1 is more or less preferred than the prefix p2
and the code is
if (asp1->weight > asp2->weight)
return 1;
Comments? OK?
