This is the same method you would use if you wanted to implement multiprotocol BGP. Strictly speaking, however, route reflection is not the same as multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP). Route reflection reflects routes from one route reflector client to another, through a "server," bypassing the need for a full mesh between BGP speakers. MP-BGP is used to carry both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic (as well as MPLS VPN traffic), using "address families." The two can be implemented together; you can have route reflection within MP-BGP, but to say that configuring BGP route reflectors also implements MP-BGP is not quite correct. We are looking at this from an ACI standpoint, though, so let's refer to this as an "alternative fact" and move on to configuring MP-BGP.
