Even if the two devices are directly connected to each other if you are
peering by loopback two different AS's (ebgp) you will still need
ebgp-multihop together with update-source loopback.

I am currently working on LAB 3 of InternetWorkExpert workbook the Exterior
Gateway Routing section. Task 5.1. I was ask to peer R4 and R5 together. The
routers our actually directly connected via 2 interfaces. When I check my
Solution guide the 2 routers are connected using the neighbor x.x.x.x
ebgp-multihop command which I thought was only needed when you need to
connect bgp neighbors that are not directly connected. Could someone please
explain why I had to use this command? Thx.
