But R1 sends 4! Why not 3? R2 can only accept 2.

I practiced a similar question, and I think the answer is B) 2, but I’m not completely confident.

If R1 sends 3 routes, R2 should be able to accept them, but it might only keep 2 due to its config.

I remember something about how add-paths work, but I’m not sure if R2 will get all 3 routes or just the first 2.

I think R2 can only receive up to 2 routes since it’s configured to send 2 add-paths.
