This appears to me to be correct. On 1 side you should see both routes in
the BGP table. On the other you should see only 1. What happens is R2
receives both routes. It then chooses the best route and installs it into
it's Route table. If the "Best" route is coming from R1, it will forward
that route on to R3. If the "Best" route is coming from R3, it will forward
that route on to R1. R2 will not take a route from R3 and forward it on to
R1 if it is not a route that it can install in it's own route table. So on 1
side, you should only see 1 route - the EBGP route. ON the other, you should
see the EBGP route and 1 IBGP route in the bgp table. Unless I am missing
something, you are seeing it work as it should.
