The situation you are referring to is probably having routers (eBGP Peers) which can be reached via multiple interfaces for forming BGP adjacency.
In this case you want the peer relationship to be up even when one of the links (in your case frame relay links) goes down. Hence you are using the loopback addresses for neighbor relationship instead of physical interfaces, this causes the number of hops between the directly connected neighbors to increase and hence the command "neighbor ebgp-multihop".

Hello All,
What is the rational for using the command ebgp-multihop for a
situation where u want the bgp connect even if the frame relay
connection between two routers fails.?
Henry
