While I don't know about the ISP environment, I've done several BGP labs with other folks in different parts of the country. EBGP Multihop is a necessary part of this, obviously. I suppose in real world the advantage is that you can peer loopbacks, rather than just the physical interfaces. Another thing that comes to mind, applicable to ISP and corporate environments, is that your iBGP routers can be located in different parts of your network, eliminating the need for physical adjaceny. > > Any comments would be appreciated. > > regards > hendro > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > mail2web - Check your email from the web at > http://mail2web.com/ .
