According to the various BGP specs, ebgp peering is SUPPOSED to be done via
a directly connected physical link (hence the need for "ebgp-multihop" if
done otherwise!) whereas iBGP doesn't care.
So unless the lab specifically states, which it can be argued good or bad
either way, I personally would probably stick with the spec and not go
making things too fancy. The fancier you make it, the more room there is
for errors (like next hop reachability throughout your network and things
like that).
Just my two cents!

Hi
I am sure this must had been asked before ...
Most the IEWB'S labs we have here does not specify to what interfaces BGP
peers to
To the loopback addresses or to the physical address ...As most of te
IGP's has connectivty to the loopbacks... IGP routing if not the issue ?
What is the good practice ? Should we raise it to the proctor during test
or is there way to judge it ..as i guess we normally go BGP if IGP;s are
through..
The solutions to most of the IEWB's lab shows it to the physical
interfaces ...Unless if its not asked for load balancing .....? wht should
be logic other then the IGP connectivity
I am little insecure here ..as i don't want to dropped out for it ..
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks
sss
