BGP Additional Paths

The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Additional Paths feature modifies the BGP protocol machinery for a
BGP speaker to be able to send multiple paths for a prefix. This gives 'path diversity' in the network. The add
path enables BGP prefix independent convergence (PIC) at the edge routers.
BGP add path enables add path advertisement in an iBGP network and advertises the following types of paths
for a prefix:
• Backup paths—to enable fast convergence and connectivity restoration.
• Group-best paths—to resolve route oscillation.
• All paths—to emulate an iBGP full-mesh.

Configure BGP Additional Paths

Perform these tasks to configure BGP Additional Paths capability:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure
2. route-policy route-policy-name
3. if conditional-expression then action-statement else
4. pass endif
5. end-policy
6. router bgp as-number

8. additional-paths receive
9. additional-paths send
10. additional-paths selection route-policy route-policy-name
11. commit
