Weight
######

Scenario to verify BGP **peer-group weight** configuration.

Weight is a locally significant BGP attribute used to influence path selection.
It is the first criterion evaluated in the bestpath algorithm — the route with
the highest weight is preferred. When weight is configured on a peer-group,
all routes received from neighbors that belong to that peer-group inherit the
configured weight value.

In this test, **DUT0** defines a peer-group ``MYGROUP`` with weight 5 and
assigns the neighbor to it. **DUT1** redistributes a directly connected
network. The test verifies that the route received from DUT1 has the weight
value inherited from the peer-group configuration.

Test iBGP - Peer-group weight is applied to received routes
***********************************************************

Description
===========

Test that weight configured on a peer-group is inherited by its members.
**DUT0** creates peer-group ``MYGROUP`` with weight 5 and assigns
the neighbor to it. **DUT1** redistributes connected networks. The test
verifies that the route received by DUT0 has weight 5 applied
through the peer-group inheritance.
