bgpRmEntAsPathMultipathRelax

This field indicates whether BGP routes with different
AS_PATHs can be used as equal cost routes.
              
If this is FALSE then DC-BGP only treats two BGP routes as
equal cost if several of their attributes, including the
AS_PATH, are identical.  This is the default behavior.
              
If this is TRUE then DC-BGP can treat two BGP routes as
equal cost even if their AS_PATHs differ, as long as their
AS_PATH lengths and other relevant attributes are the
same.  This allows routes with different AS_PATHs to be
programmed into the forwarding table as equal cost
multipath routes.
              
When multipath-relax is enabled DC-BGP still selects one
of the multipath routes as the best route to advertise to
its peers.  The AS_PATH advertised to peers reflects the
best route but not other equal cost routes, so it does not
reflect the full set of ASs on the forwarding path.  This
means that enabling multipath-relax can cause routing
loops.  Therefore multipath-relax should only be enabled
if the network administrator is sure that routing loops
cannot occur.
              
This field can only be changed when the Admin Status is
down.
