| 1: | With most BGP implementations, what is the source address of the TCP packets sent to a peer? How can this cause a problem for eBGP sessions built between nonconnected interfaces? |
| A1: | The source address of the TCP packets transmitted to a peer is normally the IP address of the interface used to reach the peer's address (the destination address of the packets). This can cause problems for a pair of eBGP peers communicating over nondirectly connected addresses because it can mean the expected source of the packets doesn't match the real source of the packets. |
| 2: | How many IP hops does BGP normally assume will be between two eBGP peers? How is this condition normally checked within BGP implementations? |
| A2: | The BGP specification states that ... |
