BGP Neighborship using Loopback

Hi All,

I am asking about the best practice during the lab regarding the iBGP
and eBGP peering.

What I am doing is that for eBGP I do the peering using the physical IP
address of the eBGP neighbor (unless otherwise stated). For iBGP, I
usually do the peering on the loopback addresses of the iBGP peers even
if the two iBGP peers are interconnected using a single physical link
and even if the task does not ask for that. I am asking if I doing not
so good thing here.

Kind Regards
