+# Equal Cost Multipath Routing with Zebra
+
+This page explains how GoBGP handles Equal Cost Multipath (ECMP) routes with
+Zebra daemon included in [Quagga](http://www.nongnu.org/quagga/) or
+[FRRouting](https://frrouting.org/).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Assume you finished [Getting Started](getting-started.md) and
+[FIB manipulation](zebra.md).
+

+- [Verification](#verification)
+
+## Configuration
+
+**Note:** Before constructing your environment, please confirm your Zebra is
+built with "--enable-multipath=ARG" configure option. The APT packaged Quagga
+on Ubuntu 16.04 is configured with this option as following.
+
+```bash
+$ /usr/lib/quagga/zebra --version
+zebra version 0.99.24.1
+Copyright 1996-2005 Kunihiro Ishiguro, et al.
+configured with:
+ --build=x86_64-linux-gnu ...(snip)... --enable-multipath=64 ...(snip)...
+```
+
+Here supposes the following topology and demonstrates two ECMP routes which
+advertised from R2 and R3 are installed to R1's Kernel routing table via Zebra.
+
+```text
+R1: GoBGP + Zebra
+R2: GoBGP
+R3: GoBGP
+
+ +-------------+ +-------------+
+ | R1 | .1/24 .2/24 | R2 |
+ | ID: 1.1.1.1 |---------------------| ID: 2.2.2.2 |
+ | AS: 65000 | 192.168.12.0/24 | AS: 65000 |
+ +-------------+ +-------------+
+ | .1/24
+ |
+ | 192.168.13.0/24
+ |
+ | .3/24
+ +-------------+
+ | R3 |
+ | ID: 3.3.3.3 |
+ | AS: 65000 |
+ +-------------+
+```
+
+To enables ECMP features at GoBGP on R1, please confirm "use-multiple-paths"
+option is configured as following. With this option, GoBGP will redistribute BGP
+multipath routes to Zebra and Zebra will install them into Kernel routing table.
+
+```toml
+# gobgpd.toml on R1
+
+[global.config]
+ as = 65000
+ router-id = "1.1.1.1"
+
+[global.use-multiple-paths.config]
+ enabled = true
+
+[[neighbors]]
+ [neighbors.config]
+ neighbor-address = "192.168.12.2"
+ peer-as = 65000
+ [[neighbors.afi-safis]]
+ [neighbors.afi-safis.config]
+ afi-safi-name = "ipv4-unicast"
+ [[neighbors.afi-safis]]
+ [neighbors.afi-safis.config]
+ afi-safi-name = "ipv6-unicast"
+
+[[neighbors]]
+ [neighbors.config]
+ neighbor-address = "192.168.13.3"
+ peer-as = 65000
+ [[neighbors.afi-safis]]
+ [neighbors.afi-safis.config]
+ afi-safi-name = "ipv4-unicast"
+ [[neighbors.afi-safis]]
+ [neighbors.afi-safis.config]
+ afi-safi-name = "ipv6-unicast"
+
+[zebra.config]
+ enabled = true
+ url = "unix:/var/run/quagga/zserv.api"
+ redistribute-route-type-list = ["connect"]
+ version = 2
+```
+
+```toml
+# gobgpd.toml on R2
+
+[global.config]
+ as = 65000
+ router-id = "2.2.2.2"
+
+[[neighbors]]
+ [neighbors.config]
+ neighbor-address = "192.168.12.1"
+ peer-as = 65000
+ [[neighbors.afi-safis]]
+ [neighbors.afi-safis.config]
+ afi-safi-name = "ipv4-unicast"
+ [[neighbors.afi-safis]]
+ [neighbors.afi-safis.config]
+ afi-safi-name = "ipv6-unicast"
+```
+
+```toml
+# gobgpd.toml on R3
+
+[global.config]
+ as = 65000
+ router-id = "3.3.3.3"
+
+[[neighbors]]
+ [neighbors.config]
+ neighbor-address = "192.168.13.1"
+ peer-as = 65000
+ [[neighbors.afi-safis]]
+ [neighbors.afi-safis.config]
+ afi-safi-name = "ipv4-unicast"
+ [[neighbors.afi-safis]]
+ [neighbors.afi-safis.config]
+ afi-safi-name = "ipv6-unicast"
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+When connections established between each routers, all routers have only
+"connected" routes from Zebra on R1.
+
+```bash
+R1> gobgp global rib -a ipv4
+ Network Next Hop AS_PATH Age Attrs
+*> 1.1.1.1/32 0.0.0.0 00:00:00 [{Origin: i} {Med: 0}]
+*> 192.168.12.0/24 0.0.0.0 00:00:00 [{Origin: i} {Med: 0}]
+*> 192.168.13.0/24 0.0.0.0 00:00:00 [{Origin: i} {Med: 0}]
+
+R2> gobgp global rib -a ipv4
+ Network Next Hop AS_PATH Age Attrs
+*> 1.1.1.1/32 192.168.12.1 00:00:00 [{Origin: i} {Med: 0} {LocalPref: 100}]
+*> 192.168.12.0/24 192.168.12.1 00:00:00 [{Origin: i} {Med: 0} {LocalPref: 100}]
+*> 192.168.13.0/24 192.168.12.1 00:00:00 [{Origin: i} {Med: 0} {LocalPref: 100}]
+```
+
+And only these routes are installed on R1's Kernel routing table.
+
+```bash
+R1> ip route
+192.168.12.0/24 dev r1-eth1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.12.1
+192.168.13.0/24 dev r1-eth2 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.13.1
+```
+
+Then, let's add new routes destinated to "10.23.1.0/24" on R2 and R3 routes.
+These routes should be treated as Multipath routes which have the same cost.
+
+```bash
+R2> gobgp global rib -a ipv4 add 10.23.1.0/24
+R2> gobgp global rib -a ipv4
+ Network Next Hop AS_PATH Age Attrs
+*> 1.1.1.1/32 192.168.12.1 00:10:00 [{Origin: i} {Med: 0} {LocalPref: 100}]
+*> 10.23.1.0/24 0.0.0.0 00:00:00 [{Origin: ?}]
+*> 192.168.12.0/24 192.168.12.1 00:10:00 [{Origin: i} {Med: 0} {LocalPref: 100}]
+*> 192.168.13.0/24 192.168.12.1 00:10:00 [{Origin: i} {Med: 0} {LocalPref: 100}]
+
+R3> gobgp global rib -a ipv4 add 10.23.1.0/24
+R3> gobgp global rib -a ipv4
+ Network Next Hop AS_PATH Age Attrs
+*> 1.1.1.1/32 192.168.13.1 00:10:00 [{Origin: i} {Med: 0} {LocalPref: 100}]
+*> 10.23.1.0/24 0.0.0.0 00:00:00 [{Origin: ?}]
+*> 192.168.12.0/24 192.168.13.1 00:10:00 [{Origin: i} {Med: 0} {LocalPref: 100}]
+*> 192.168.13.0/24 192.168.13.1 00:10:00 [{Origin: i} {Med: 0} {LocalPref: 100}]
+```
+
+GoBGP on R1 will receive these routes and install them into R1's Kernel routing
+table via Zebra. The following shows that traffic to "10.23.1.0/24" will be
+forwarded through the interface r1-eth1 (nexthop is R2) or the interface r1-eth2
+(nexthop is R3) with the same weight.
+
+```bash
+R1> gobgp global rib -a ipv4
+ Network Next Hop AS_PATH Age Attrs
+*> 1.1.1.1/32 0.0.0.0 00:15:00 [{Origin: i} {Med: 0}]
+*> 10.23.1.0/24 192.168.12.2 00:05:00 [{Origin: ?} {LocalPref: 100}]
+* 10.23.1.0/24 192.168.13.3 00:05:00 [{Origin: ?} {LocalPref: 100}]
+*> 192.168.12.0/24 0.0.0.0 00:15:00 [{Origin: i} {Med: 0}]
+*> 192.168.13.0/24 0.0.0.0 00:15:00 [{Origin: i} {Med: 0}]
+
+R1> ip route
+10.23.1.0/24 proto zebra
+ nexthop via 192.168.12.2 dev r1-eth1 weight 1
+ nexthop via 192.168.13.3 dev r1-eth2 weight 1
+192.168.12.0/24 dev r1-eth1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.12.1
+192.168.13.0/24 dev r1-eth2 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.13.1
