The Source and Share Tree models are the working model of how the tree is built; all multicast routing protocols fit into one or both. This is the 'theory' or model.<br />PIM-DM's operational falls in the source tree model and PIM-SM is classified an
47. Explain the path selection process for BGP? What is the order and what preference does it take?
1. Weight - Administrative preference (Highest)<br /><br />2. Local Preference - Communicated between peers within AS (Highest)<br /><br />3. Self-originated - Prefer path originated locally (True)<br /><br />4. AS Path - Minimize AS hops (Shortest)<
