Here you go minus the real as and ip info. Thank you for your help.
bgp {
log-updown;
damping;
group provider1 {
type external;
multipath;
neighbor 1.2.3.4 {
import provider1-policy;
export my-bgp-network;
peer-as 1234;
}
}
group provider2 {
type external;
multipath;
neighbor 5.6.7.8 {
import provider2-policy;
export my-bgp-network;
peer-as 5678;
}
}
}

Hi,
Problem is here that BGP is making the decision as to which route to make
active (in the Local-RIB) and then sending that single route to the routing
table. So from the routing table perspective you don't' have multiple
equal-cost paths to choose from, hence the load-balance per-packet policy
does not work.
You might want to try BGP multipath. Can we see your configuration under
[protocols bgp]?

I tried the per-packet policy but it don't think I have it setup right.
A show route 65.0.0.1 shows me two equal paths
net.0: 151671 destinations, 302507 routes (151522 active, 0 holddown, 321
hidden)
+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both
65.0.0.0/19 *[BGP/170] 1d 00:43:22, localpref 100
AS path: XXX XXX XXX XXX I
> to 1.2.3.4 via t3-0/0/1.0
[BGP/170] 1d 00:43:28, localpref 100
AS path: XXX XXX XXX XXX I
> to 5.6.7.8 via t3-0/0/0.0
But a show route forwarding-table destination 65.0.0.1 shows me only one
destination
Routing table: inet
Internet:
Destination Type RtRef Next hop Type Index NhRef Netif
65.0.0.0/19 user 0 1.2.3.4 ucst 25 101673 t3-0/0/1.0
What am I doing wrong?
