When deploying an update server for a basic extension, I'll normally use the following:

<updateservers>
    <server type="extension" name="Something" priority="1">http://example.com/update.xml</server>
</updateservers>

However I'm unsure as to what the priority attribute is for. I looked on the Joomla Docs and the description says:

The priority of the update server

which I find extremely vague.

Can anyone shed some light as to how it works?

When you have multiple update servers, you can set a different priority for each. so you can control the order in which the update servers are checked.

If the first one is available, it won't bother checking the rest
