Hi Steve/Dave
Could you please confirm that VPP during synchronization of routing table with Linux kernel in case of dual gateway ECMP configuration gets only single route in the netlink message is a known bug ??
I am using VPP 21.06 version.
Regards
Magesh

Have you looked at other routing projects that handle multipath like:
