= Multipath =

* Unlike most routing protocols, BGP only selects a single best path for each prefix.
* It doesn’t do ECMP (Equal Cost Multi-Path Routing) by default but it is possible to enable this.
* In order for BGP to use the second path, the following attributes have to match:
Weight
Local Preference
