Terry, FreeBSD has no support for BGP. To get BGP support you install a router daemon. That inserts routes in the routing table in the kernel. The kernel will do all packet forwarding. The kernel has to support two or more routes to the same destination if you are going to do BGP (or OSPF) equal cost multipath. I am sorry but ther is no way around it, if you have two links of equal cost and want to use both, you have to have support for that in the kernel. There are situations where this is needed, and you do get good performance from it if you have many flows. One flow should always take the same path. (I will not say anything about the patch in queston as I have not read it) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
