But I also read on the book which states BGP speaker will not advertise any routes unless IGP (or static route) can reach BGP's next hop. So in this example, how come there is no IGP or static running? Or are they not necessary if there isn't any third or fourth router attached to router A or B? Thanks for your help in advance.
