Its showing you the *best* bgp route which will be propagated to peers;

Remember although we can load balance in the routing table with bgp
learned
routes only one best route gets advertised to neighbors...

Now do show ip route 10.1.127.7

You should see something like

B 10.1.127.0/x via 1.1.123.1
                    1.1.123.2

Hi everyone

Forgive the lack on config but see the output from a single router
below:-

s> 10.1.127.0/24 1.1.123.1 0 0 29
?

s 1.1.123.2 0
0 29 ?

show ip route 10.1.127.0

Routing entry for 10.1.127.0/24

  Known via "bgp 10", distance 20, metric 0

  Tag 29, type external

  Last update from 1.1.123.2 00:03:57 ago

  Routing Descriptor Blocks:

  * 1.1.123.1, from 1.1.123.1, 00:04:31 ago

      Route metric is 0, traffic share count is 1

      AS Hops 1

    1.1.123.2, from 1.1.123.2, 00:03:57 ago

      Route metric is 0, traffic share count is 1

      AS Hops 1

traceroute 10.1.127.7

Type escape sequence to abort.

Tracing the route to 10.1.127.7

  1 1.1.123.2 16 msec

    1.1.123.1 16 msec

    1.1.123.2 16 msec

  2 10.1.127.7 [AS 29] 16 msec * 16 msec

Does anybody know why bgp suggests it's not using both paths for this
route? Looks like it to me

Thank you
