    The document discusses how a BGP route reflector will only announce the best path for a prefix to its clients based on best path selection. It also discusses how BGP policy, such as local preference and MED values, can impact the path selection so that only the path with the highest policy is announced between BGP peers. Finally, it lists some potential solutions to address this such as using unique route distinguishers, BGP best external, BGP add-path, or BGP optimal route reflection.
