Hi Stuart,
Does Henning, Claudio or any of the other developers have any plan to
implement BGP equal cost multi-path support (maximum-paths) to OpenBGPd?
I guess it should be quite quick to add as OpenOSPFd already supports
this and the kernel FIB is ready.
Actually quite surprised this isn't already supported which is why I
wanted to check with people here as BGP multipath is step 9 of the BGP
Best Path Selection Algorithm.
I know that Rivo Nurges and one of two other developers have also
expressed intent and interest to add BFD support to OpenBGPd at least
(and ideally static routes and OSPF) for obvious reasons.
Adding these two features has obvious and significant benefits. BIRD
already supports ECMP and BFD but I would rather stick with OpenBGPd as
it is developed against OpenBSD :)
Thanks for your time and thoughts.
Cheers, Andy.

Hi,
Is OpenBGPD capable of inserting equal cost multi-path routes into the
kernel FIB like OpenOSPFD can?
In a word: no.
Maybe it could be modified to do this, but that's how it is currently.
