Since the subinterfaces on AS2 and AS3 are point-to-point you won't have
an issue with the next hop because spoke can reach spoke.
With this being a multi-access network, AS1 will not alter the next hop
address for updates about AS2 sent to AS3 and vice versa. This could be
a potential problem for the spokes reaching the next hop address with
physical interfaces or multipoint subinterfaces if there aren't any
frame-relay mappings from spoke to spoke. Of course there are a few ways
to solve this:
1) Use "next-hop-self" on AS1.
2) Frame-relay mappings from spoke to spoke.
3) Static /32 routes.
4) Policy routing (not pretty but will work).
5) OSPF point-to-multipoint network between AS1, AS2 and AS3. (Not
likely in the real world).

Subject: BGP and Multipoint interface
Does anyone know of issues with the following set-up fro BGP on a Frame
Network:
AS2
/
/
AS1 --------
\
\
AS3
All sites are on a frame relay network and AS1 is Multipoint and AS2 and
AS3
are point-point to AS1.
Do I need to use Next-hop self on AS1?AS2?AS3?
