Advertisement of Multiple Paths in BGP RFC 7911 for SAFI Flowspec #1140

Open adrian62 opened 1 year ago

adrian62 commented 1 year ago

Some router vendors support this feature on Flowspec. I tried adding "path-information ..." to a flow entry in config and I get an error. Same works on unicast SAFIs.

Describe the solution you'd like Allow path-information in the flow configuration and on the exabgp API.

Describe alternatives you've considered I presently use SAFI vpn in cases where multiple paths need to coexist using unique RDs. In some circumstances add path is easier to deploy.

ExaBGP does not (currently) support path information for flow routes.
