BGP Weight Definition: BGP Weight is an attribute in Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) used to influence the best path selection process by assigning a numerical value to routes, with higher values indicating preference.
BGP Weight is a parameter in Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) used to influence the routing decisions within an Autonomous System (AS). It is a locally significant value assigned to routes received from different BGP neighbors. Routes with higher Weight values are preferred over routes with lower Weight values when there are multiple paths available to reach a specific destination. BGP Weight is used for internal routing policy decisions and is not advertised to external BGP peers.
