I'm with Afton on this one. Applying the route map inbound is the way to go. Who wants to mess with AS path prepending when you can just tweak the local pref?

D seems like a good option too. Prepending the AS path can make the route less desirable and push CE1 to prefer the PE1 path.

That's a good point. Applying the route map on CE1 in the inbound direction might also help.

The route map is being applied outbound, so I think C is the correct answer. Applying it inbound would allow us to manipulate the routes received from PE2.

I disagree. I believe configuring the route map with MED and local preference to manipulate the route outbound would be more effective.
