6.10.2.48. maximum-paths
This command is used to configure the maximum number of next hops BGP may include in an Equal Cost
Multipath (ECMP) route derived from paths received from neighbors within or outside the local AS.
Paths are considered for ECMP when their attributes are the same (local preference, AS path, origin, MED, peer
type and IGP distance). When BGP uses multiple paths in an ECMP route, BGP still selects one path as the best
path and advertises only that path to its peers.
To restore the default value, use the no form of this command.
Format maximum-paths [ibgp] <number>
no maximum-paths [ibgp] <number>

command.
