And often enough, I've seen MEDs result in worst-exit routing. That is, routing that was intended to be better than closest-exit (aka. hot-potato), but turns out to be far worse than best-exit (I believe some refer to this as cold-potato *8^/) because an adjacent AS in unable to correctly convey the optimal entry point into their AS via MEDs, be it because of GOOD aggregation, or uncluefully derived MED values.
I believe Avi Freedman would call that "mashed-potato" routing. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras () e-gerbil net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/humble PGP Key ID: 0x138EA177 (67 29 D7 BC E8 18 3E DA B2 46 B3 D8 14 36 FE B6)
