However, Router C and Router A reside in the same AS, and Router C has a greater MED, so network
10.0.0.0 learned from Router C should not be optimal.
You can configure the bestroute compare-med command to enable MED comparison for routes from the
same AS on Router D. After that, Router D puts the routes received from each AS into a group, selects the
route with the lowest MED from each group, and compares routes from different groups. This mechanism
avoids the above-mentioned problem. The following output shows the BGP routing table on Router D after
this feature is enabled. Network 10.0.0.0 learned from Router B is the optimal route.

Enabling MED comparison for routes from confederation peers
This task enables BGP to compare the MEDs of routes received from confederation peers. However, if a
route received from a confederation peer has an AS number that does not belong to the confederation,
BGP does not compare the route with other routes. For example, a confederation has three AS numbers
65006, 65007, and 65009. BGP receives three routes from different confederation peers. The AS_PATH
attributes of these routes are 65006 65009, 65007 65009, and 65008 65009, and the MED values of
them are 2, 3, and 1. Because the third route's AS_PATH attribute contains AS number 65008 that does
