Hello,
i'm a little desperate and helpless because i can't get any further with my current problem:
My current setup (all same AS only physical):
router A ---- router B --- router C ------- router E --- router G
(has full \ | | |
table uplink) \ | | |
\ | | |
router D ------- router F --- router H
Router ABCD and router EFGH are each at the same location in a L2 network. There are no additional static routing information but the one from the interfaces and they are all connected via BGP using the same AS. All routers can ping each other and no router has a default gw. All BGP sessions are using the same table and are up and alive. All direct connected routers have a "direct" connection and all non direct connected routers use multihop.
The problem is that router G and router H only have invalid global routes learned from router A while E and F are fine:
router G and H (PROBLEM):

I am using bird 2.0.5 and ubuntu 18.04 with 4.15.0-54-generic and already played around with and without "next hop self" etc. but without luck.
There seems to be a problem with my configuration or with the next hop calculation, right? Or did i miss something else?
