From the above caption, you can see by default the traffic from AS64513 to AS64512 will transit over at AS65000 which can utilize 2Gbps, to use an optimize route between AS64512 and AS64513 is either change the AD of BGP (distance bgp <external distance> <internal distance> <local distance>, default 20 200 200 respectively) or use BGP backdoor. BGP backdoor will make the IGP route a preferred route.
