Which of the following routing technologies uses an attribute list for path selection?

ABGP

BRIP

CEIGRP

DOSPF

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) uses attributes like AS path, origin, and MED (multi-exit discriminator) to determine the best path among multiple available routes.

From Andrew Ramdayal's guide:

''BGP is the protocol underlying the global routing system of the internet. It is used for routing data between autonomous systems (ASes)... BGP uses a path vector mechanism and maintains a list of attributes for route selection.''

I thought EIGRP was the one with attribute lists?

OSPF relies on cost, not attributes.

I'm leaning towards BGP as the answer since it deals with path attributes, but I need to double-check my notes on EIGRP.

I feel like this question is similar to one we practiced on OSPF and its cost metrics, but I don't think OSPF uses an attribute list.

I remember studying EIGRP and its metrics, but I can't recall if it specifically uses an attribute list like BGP does.

I think BGP uses an attribute list for path selection, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the only one that does.
