R1,R5,R4 are in AS 2. R3 is in AS 3.
R4 is the route reflector router. There is IBGP between R1, R4, R5. There is
EBGP between R1 and R3, R5 and R3.

R4, R1 and R5 recieve the route to lo1 of R3 the ip address of which is
133.1.1.1. I want load balance on R4 and configured the maximum-paths ibgp 2
command on it. Than I try to trace 133.1.1.1 from R4. The output is below:

*Jul 30 11:48:57.055: ICMP: time exceeded rcvd from 151.4.2.5
*Jul 30 11:48:57.059: ICMP: time exceeded rcvd from 151.4.2.1
*Jul 30 11:48:57.063: ICMP: time exceeded rcvd from 151.4.2.5 * * *
  3 * * *
  4 * * *
  5 * * *
  6 * * *
  7 * * *
  8 * * *
     I can't ping it as well. How can I avoid this problem?? I want to load
balance the traffic behind the R4 but still be able to ping from R4 and have
reachability of R3 from R4.

Any ideas?? Thanks.
