right, i understand that just fine, and i know where ebgp multihop is to be
used. what i dont understand is WHY would u wa nt to cross over ur isp,
plus whatever other transit as u'll have to go through to hit another isp u
do want to peer with, even though u might end up with an ebgp multihop of 20
or 30.
explain that, since i dont see the point in it.
example. i connect to uunet, and i want to go peer with another big isp out
there, so ill cross all the way to the other network to hit by bgp peer.
wheres the logic behind this kind of usage.
