Controls the preference rules used when choosing among multiple AS-external-LSAs advertising the same destination. When set to 'true', the preference rules remain those specified in RFC 1583. When set to 'false', the preference rules are those stated in RFC 2328, which prevent routing loops when AS-external-LSAs for the same destination have been originated from different areas. Set to 'true' by default. In order to minimize the chance of routing loops, all OSPF routers in an OSPF routing domain should have this object set identically. When there are fouters present that have not been updated with the functionality specified in RFC 2328, all routers should have this object set to 'true'. Otherwise, all routers should have this object set to 'false', preventing all routing loops.
