BGP rides on top of TCP and BGP's default TTL is 1. Therefore to run BGP you must be directly connected, unless you implement ebgp multi-hop. Which allows you to reconfigure BGP's TTL value so that you may establish a BGP session with that neighbor that is not directly connected.

I am trying to configure two routers as BGP peers . Routers (both) are on the same LAN but in diffrent subnetworks. I mean, routers can ping eachother , since there is another router between them. But , they can not establish BGP connection as two neighbours. Does that mean they have to be dirctly connected to eachother.?
