The OSPF looback/Router-ID thread prompts me to ask a similar question
about BGP. Since I have been involved in my CCIE studies I have assumed
that each of the sections was a separate effort. When I get to the BGP
part, I always build my IBGP peers with loopbacks and use the "common
nets" as the glue for EBGP peers; becasue I assume the fact that all
the routers allready have connectivity, via IGP, to just be a residual
side effect of having used the same routers to do both sections. I have
seen loopbacks used to peer in EBGP peers in the field, but it was
static routes giving them the connectivity, not an IGP running between
seperate AS's.
Does anyone have any insight into this, (and it does not specify one
way or the other on the questions on the test).
