If WAN Edge routers learn equal‑preference OMP routes, which route is selected?

When WAN Edge routers learn multiple OMP routes for the same prefix with equal preference, the tie-breaking mechanism involves the TLOC preference value. The route with the higher TLOC preference value is always selected. This is a crucial aspect of traffic engineering in Cisco SD-WAN, allowing administrators to influence path selection. Options like "route with origin type of connected" or "static" are incorrect because origin type is a different attribute used in OMP best path selection, but it comes into play before TLOC preference when preferences are equal. A "lower TLOC preference value" would result in the route being less preferred, not selected.
