Correct answer: Specifies load‑sharing proportion among ETRs with equal priority..
Why this is the answer
The weight attribute in an EID-to-RLOC mapping is used to define the load-sharing proportion among multiple Egress Tunnel Routers (ETRs) that have the same priority. A higher weight value means that ETR will be preferred more often for traffic forwarding. This allows for granular control over how traffic is distributed when multiple paths are available and equally preferred based on priority. Incorrect options: Administrative distance is a different metric used by routing protocols to determine the best path when multiple routing protocols offer routes to the same destination. LISP uses priority and weight for its own path selection. LISP versus native IP path preference is determined by other mechanisms, such as route preference values or policy, not the weight attribute. The RLOC address family (IPv4/IPv6) is inherent to the RLOC address itself, not specified by the weight attribute.
