A standard BGP implementation do not send the Local Preference attribute
to eBGP neighbors and ignore this attribute if received from eBGP
neighbors, as per <rfc id="4271">. When this option is enabled on an
eBGP session, this attribute will be sent to and accepted from the peer,
which is useful for example if you have a setup like in <rfc id="7938">.
The option does not affect iBGP sessions. Default: off.

BGP prevents routing loops by rejecting received routes with the local
AS number in the AS path. This option allows to loose or disable the
