BGP additional paths

BGP supports the additional paths feature, which allows the BGP speaker to propagate and accept multiple paths for the same prefix without the new paths replacing any previous paths. This feature allows BGP speaker peers to negotiate whether they support advertising and receiving multiple paths per prefix and advertising such paths.

Config Stripe Winner Policy

The fabric now supports a configurable stripe winner policy where you can select a pod for a specific multicast group, group range and/or source, source range. This will ensure that the border leaf elected as the stripe winner is from the selected pod.

Proportional equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) routing

You can use the next-hop propagate and redistribute attached host features to avoid sub-optimal routing in the Cisco ACI fabric. When these features are enabled, packet flows from a non-border leaf switch are forwarded directly to the leaf switch connected to the next-hop address. All next-hops are now used for ECMP forwarding from the hardware. In addition, Cisco ACI now redistributes ECMP paths into BGP for both directly connected next-hops and recursive next-hops.
