ACS,
            Weight is a Cisco-proprietary BGP attribute.The weight
attribute is significant only to the router on which it is changed. If
you set a higher weight for a particular route in order to give it
preference (a higher weight is preferred over a lower one), that
weight is not advertised to other routers.
