nope - works just fine for iBGP as well. > > On a IBGP you can have a hop across ie 5 routers in a IBGP peering session. ?????? anyBGP assumes it's neighbor is directly connected - i.e. on the same segment. The EBGP-multihop command changes the TTL to whatever the configured hop count is. ( default 255 ) Refer to RFC 1771 for the specification. > As long as the IGP can reach the other peer it will work.
