BGP Shadow Route Reflector

Hi Team,

I was going through the the below link from Cisco which Laz had posted: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/iproute_bgp/configuration/xe-16/irg-xe-16-book/irg-diverse-path.html#d236406e623a1635

This clearly says that the to enable multipath , we need to use “neighbor x.x.x advertise diverse-path mpath” command along with “maximum-paths ibgp x” command.

Is this a new change introduced for later releases ? Can you please shed some light into this.

Thanks
Raoul
