Lab 5/6.3. The BGP peering session between R4 and R5 should remain up if R5 loses its connection to the Frame Relay cloud.

Lab 4/6.3. The BGP peering session between R4 and R5 should remain up if R4 loses both the Frame Relay and Ethernet segments tp R5.

I think to satisfy the conditions above he used: neighbor x.x.x.x ebgp-multihop

R4:

neighbor 150.1.5.5 ebgp-multihop
-----

---

R5: neighbor 150.1.4.4 ebgp-multihop ------

1- My understanding to EBGP is that, EPGP is an indication that the exterior BGP peer is not directly connected and can be reached at a maximum of 2 or 3 or 4----etc hops away.

2-My confusion why did he use neighbor x.x.x.x ebgp-multihop ?
