Hello ,
I have a RR in the network and I want it to send all of the available paths to the Clients ,in order to do that, I have enabled the add-path feature on the RR as follow:
router bgp xxx
bgp router-id 44.44.44.44
address-family ipv4 unicast
additional-paths receive
additional-paths send
additional-paths selection route-policy rr_best
!
route-policy rr_best
set path-selection all advertise
end-policy
!
neighbor-group rr-clients
remote-as xxx
update-source Loopback0
address-family ipv4 unicast
multipath
route-reflector-client
However the clients still receive only the best path.
Note: I found that there is additional command should be executed on the neighbor/Neighbor-Group, however this command is not available for ios xr.
Thanks.

Is the add-path capability being both received from and sent to the clients? If you check the output of
sh bgp ipv4 unicast neighbors
does it include for the IPv4 Unicast address-family:
Additional-paths Send: advertised and received
Additional-paths Receive: advertised and received
Do the multiple paths to be sent to the client have different next-hops?

I think this is the reason , the add-path operation is none , but I cant find a reason for that .
configuration seems identical.
also the add-path capabilities is exchanged correctly with another vendor peer , it fails only with cisco router !!
router bgp xx
bgp router-id x.x.x.x
address-family ipv4 unicast
additional-paths receive
additional-paths send
additional-paths selection route-policy rr_selection
route-policy rr_selection
set path-selection all advertise
end-policy
and on the other peer
router bgp xx
bgp router-id x.x.x.x
address-family ipv4 unicast
additional-paths receive
additional-paths send
