[Xorp-users] XORP BGP supports ECMP?

But, in any cases, ECMP cannot apply to BGP due to its policy of
selection process of the next hop. Only, static routes, OSPF, RIP and
ISIS can support it.

But, if there are any papers or recommandations that show that BGP can
support ECMP as-is, I'd apprecieate to review it :)
FYI, it is currently a working draft:
~  http://bgp.potaroo.net/ietf/idref/draft-bhatia-ecmp-routes-in-bgp/
but right now, no implementation supports it.

| No, currently XORP doesn't support ECMP.
