Hi Nawaz,

There's an IGP running in between, so in terms of reachability - there
shouldn't be any issues. Did not try consistent ping, though i did try doing
some pings over it (re 100) but doesnt present any issues.

They're ebgp peers. But the funny thing is i tried all sorts, shut/no shut
interface, reloading the router & none of these seem to solve the problem.
But when i set it using Loopback interfaces as the source for ebgp peering,
it seemed to solve the problem. The peers do not go down (no notification
was sent/received from either peers).

I dont see any logic behind this. Though initially i too suspected that it
could be media issue, but connectivity doesnt seem to present any problem at
all. I could telnet from either router to each other, doesn't present any
issues.

Thanks.

Kenny
