John,

I think these Routers are behaving exactly as configured. It look like your
route-reflector is working and the routing among all the BGP peers are
behaving as configured.

The question at the centre of this scenario is: Does BGP RR, reflect routes
to the other peer from only its best routes or it reflect all the routes in
its RIB?

You will notice that, all the best routes on R5 are the routes from BB3
(through R3) and as such R5 do not have any route to reflect back to R3,
because the best route that it have, it got it from R3; it only have new
routes to reflect back to R6.

To test this theory:
1. Advertise a route into BGP on R6, check R3's table for that route.
   (if it is there then RR @ R5 is functioning and your BGP is working as
configured)

2. Configure load balancing on R5, this will make R5 to flag both routes as
Best. (I have not tested this) but since both routes will make it into its
routing table from its RIB; R5 should forward them to both R3 & R6.
