Thanks for your answer.

The switches weren't properly configured.

I managed to get multipath working. At least with ipv4.

When enabling "add paths" on ipv6 channel, I get an "Received: Invalid 
OPEN message" error (although the switch is advertising the capability). 
I wont blame bird yet, as ExaBGP peers dont care at all.

to be continued ...
