Subject: [Idr] Cost to Reach the NH

Hi,

When we say consider the cost to reach the next hop in running our decision handler is it the
cost to reach the "Nexthop" carried in the BGP UDPATE message OR is it the cost to reach the
next-hop which is resolved by doing recursive lookup. 

As an example. Suppose a router receievs an UPDATE for a prefix with next hop NH1. Let NH2 be
the next-hop which it will use to reach NH1. Given this, does it consider the cost to reach
NH1 or NH2 in its decision process?

I think its the latter - but just wanted to confirm from others.

Will appreciate any light on this.

Regards,
Mareline S.
