Overview

A locally significant priority metric used for route selection on Cisco devices.

Details

A Cisco-proprietary BGP route-selection priority that applies only to the local router. It's evaluated first among BGP path attributes. Values range from 0 to 65535, defaulting to 0 (32768 for routes originated locally). Unlike local preference, it's never propagated to any other router.
