Just wondering because on Cisco you can just set maximum-paths in your BGP config section however it doesnt look like you can do something similar on RouterOS.
On RouterOS you can’t set maximum path, but you can set up load balancing

So really this looks like it does support multipath by default but you can’t set a limit on the number of identical routes you want to install ![]()
Yes multipath is enabled by default, you don’t need to set maximum path to enable it as it is in Cisco routers.
already good news in Mikrotik community!
What's new in 7.22beta1 (2026-Jan-02 08:46):
*) bgp - implement multipath (ability for BGP best path to select ECMP routes);
Talking about necro-posting ...
Well, indeed that version introduces it and it appears to work. However, now you cannot set a maximum number of routes, only yes/no for multipath. So I guess they still will not be satisfied…
