MPLS VPN: eBGP Multipath Support for CSC and Inter-AS

---

This feature enables a router to install multiple paths in the IP routing table when the eBGP paths are learned from a neighboring AS. This is preferable to the default method of having the router choose the path with the lowest route ID when it learns two identical eBGP paths for a prefix from a neighboring autonomous system. This feature is available for both MPLS VPN Carrier Supporting Carrier and Interautonomous system configurations.
