BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)uses amulti-step decision processto select the best route among multiple paths. It doesnot use SPF or simple metrics like hop count.

Key BGP selection criteria include:

Local preference

AS path length

Origin type

MED (Multi-Exit Discriminator)

eBGP over iBGP

IGP metric to next hop

Option C is correct– BGP evaluatesmultiple attributesfor route selection.

AP router (Provider router)is locatedin the core of the service provider’s network. Its functions include:

ForwardingMPLS-labeled packetsbetweenPE routers.

Not interacting directly with customer routes or routing instances.

Having no knowledge ofVPN routing or customer-specific services.

Option C is correct– P routers sit in theMPLS core, isolated from customer edge.

Address summarization(also called route aggregation) is a technique used in IP routing to combine several contiguous network prefixes into asingle summarized route.

This reduces the number of routes that need to be advertised and stored in routing tables, improvingscalability and performance.

Option A is correct– summarization replaces many specific routes with a single aggregated route.

Option Brefers to best path selection (not summarization).

Option Cis incorrect; duplicate advertisements are still processed and filtered based on metrics.

Option Dis unrelated to summarization; directly connected routes are always advertised unless specifically filtered.
