+.Pp
+BGP is an exterior gateway protocol using a multiple step decision process
+to find the best path.
+Advanced filtering can be used to influence the route
+decision for traffic engineering.
+The session engine of
+.Nm
+is responsible for maintaining the TCP session with each neighbor.
+Updates are passed to the Route Decision Engine (RDE) where the paths
+are filtered and used to compute a Routing Information Base (RIB).
+The parent process is responsible for keeping the RIB in sync with
+the kernel routing table.
+.Pp
+The route decision process selects the best path by evaluating all paths to
+the same destination.
+The decision process continues to the next step if paths have equal attributes.
+Paths that are less preferred are taken out of consideration until there is
+only one path left.

+All paths with errors or loops are not eligible.

+Paths with an unreachable nexthop are not eligible.
+After this step all remaining paths are valid.

+The path with the highest
+.Em LOCAL_PREF
+is selected.
+.It
+The path with the shortest
+.Em AS path
+attribute is selected.

+The
+.Em ORIGIN
+attribute is compared.
+The order is IGP before EGP before incomplete origins.
+.It
+The path with the lowest
+.Em MULTI_EXIT_DISC
+metric is selected.
+Normally, this value is only considered when choosing between multiple
+routes sent by the same neighbouring AS.
+However, if
+.Dq Li rde med compare always
+is set in the configuration, the metric is compared for routes sent by any AS.

+Comparison of the BGP session type.
+Paths learned over an external (EBGP) session are preferred over those

+The path with the lowest local

+is selected.
+.It
+If
+.Dq Li rde route-age evaluate
+is set then the oldest path is selected.
+.It
+The path coming from the neighbor with the lowest
+.Em BGP ID
+wins.
+If the
+.Em ORIGINATOR_ID
+attribute is present that value will be used in the comparison instead.
+.It
+The path with the shortest
+.Em CLUSTER_LIST
+attribute is selected.
+If it is not present then a length of 0 is used in the comparison.

+The path coming from the peer with the lowest IP address is selected.
+IPv4 sessions will be preferred over IPv6 ones.

+Attributes set by filters can be used to tip the decision process to prefer
