Hi, Douglas,

Did you use "neighbor ttl-security" on both site of the neighborhood? or use
"neighbor ttl-security" on one site and use "neighbor ebgp-multihop" on
another site?

You have to use "neighbor ttl-security hop" in the peer sessions of each
nodes.

The two commands are different on the inital TTL value on the message. The
drop-off TTL threshold are different too.
For example, "neighbor ebgp-multihost 4" set intial value TTL=4 on the peer
message and drop off the peer message if TTL = 0.

"neighbor ttl-threshold hop 4" uses default TTL=255 on the outgoing peer
message and drops off the ingress message if it's TTL = 251.
