EBGP Multihop Configuration Example

EBGP Multihop refers to a configuration where external BGP neighbors are not connected
to the same subnet. Such neighbors are logically, but not physically connected. For
example, BGP can be run between external neighbors across non-BGP routers. Some
additional configuration is required to indicate that the external peers are not physically
attached.
