Usage
Multi Exit Discriminator (MED) is used in best path selection by BGP. MED is compared after BGP attributes

MED comparison is done only among paths from the same autonomous system (AS). Use bgp
always-comparemed command to allow comparison of MEDs from different ASs. The MED parameter is used
to select the best path. A path with lower MED is preferred.
