Re: BGP NEXT HOP ISSUE

Hi,

BGP does not change the next hop on a Multi-access network unless explicitly
configured to do so through *next-hop self*. If the BGP speaker determines
that both the sending and the intended neighbor are reached through the
same interface, it leaves the next hop unchanged for optimum routing (
needless to make an extra unneccessary hop through this router ) as these
neighbors can reach each other directly on the multi-access network.

Herbert.
