Just a quick Q about the use of maximum-paths eibgp command ...

If I have two routers peering to one ISP each, wold it help use this command
on each of this routers. Will they
both know about that the other router have this command on?

Or would you need to set this command on f eks a router that is on the
inside of this two and that is in the same
AS.

Secondly, it seems to me from the documentation that this command also can
be used for IBGP

From CCO :

To configure multipath load sharing for external BGP (eBGP) and internal
(iBGP) routes, use the maximum-paths eibgp command in address family
configuration mode. To disable multipath load sharing for eBGP and iBGP
routes, use the no form of this command.

Here it say also for IBGP routes.. So what is the deferens of using this
command and the maximum-path ibgp command for IBGP?

Third, why is the command called max-path eibgp (iebgp??) why not ebgp
only?? Anybody that knows why??

Thanks

Jens P
