Per your kind comments, I have re-configured IBGP group as below.
This time it seems that despite "local-address" being configured,
it seems one of the peers is picking up its bge0 address
(172.16.101.178)
group "iBGP_Neighbors" {
remote-as $MY_ASN
announce all
neighbor 172.16.101.169
local-address $MY_ROUTER_ID
}
group "iBGP_Neighbors" {
remote-as $MY_ASN
announce all
neighbor 172.16.101.170
local-address $MY_ROUTER_ID
}
# bgpd -dv

MY_ASN = "65015"
MY_IPV4NET = "172.16.101.0/21"
MY_ROUTER_ID = "172.16.101.169"
