Group,

This is my understanding.Whenever u create a EBGP peer
u generally do it with the neighbors peer address
which is the next hop serial link IP address. Now
since the peer relationship is being formed using ur
Loopback address u use "update-source" .U will use the
same command irespective of what interface u
use..other than serial IP.

Whenever u dont form a peer/neighbor relationship
using point-point link (with TTL=1)... it could be any
other IP address on the neighbor u need to use the
"ebgp-multihop". This works only with EBGP as i know.

Thus u may both being used togethter most of the
times.
HTH.

I do know that
