BGP Additional Path is a new capability that enables BGP sessions from Route
Reflectors to announce more than one route per IP prefix, so as to help reduce
the convergence time of BGP on large networks (see the IDR for explanations)

This is a draft from 2006 that moved to pre-RFC status in 2010:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-idr-add-paths

As of 2010 at least one implementation exist on a major router, and others are
expected in 2011.

The included capture is a BGP session with add-path capability between two
Cisco CRS3 running a beta version of IOS-XR 4.0.0T, only for IPv4 unicast
prefixes.

I did not manage to obtain a capture for any MP-BGP prefixes (IPv6, labeled IP,
VPNs) probably because it is not supported yet.

Note that the encoding of IPv4 NLRI and withdrawn routes is not compatible with
the standard BGP encoding, and the only indication of the decoding to use is in
the BGP OPEN messages (capability 69 = BGP add-path)
