Abstract
In an embodiment, a method comprises receiving a path advertisement comprising information about an available path and a well-known community value associated with the available path. A modified best path calculation is performed in response to receiving the available path either from a higher-ranked device or from a device that is not participating in diverse path calculation, resulting in creating a particular best path. The particular best path is advertised to other routers with or without a restriction indicator based on whether it is a client learned path or non-client iBGP peer learned path and based on whether the advertisement is directed to a client or a non-client iBGP peer.
