Hi

There is devel version of BGP multipath in our Git. Currently it allows
to merge routes that have the same preference, bgp_local_pref, bgp_path
length, bgp_origin, bgp_med (if relevant), ibgp/ebgp and igp_metric.

As BGP multipath is non-standard, i wonder what kind of BGP multipath
behavior is expected by users and which options are necessary. I will
probably add some option to relax check for equal bgp_path length.
