    If you need ECMP support eBGP neighbors in different AS numbers. Kindly refer NSX design document, most of your queries are very well explained in design documents.

    If there are multiple BGP routes to the same destination but their AS paths are different, only one of them will usually be added to the routing table. But if you want both routes to be used—even though they have different AS paths—you can enable the BGP feature called "multipath relax" to allow that. Hope this helps.
