Mike, By default ebgp sends packets with a ttl=1. When you enable multihop you can override the default and set "multihop 5" for example.

Hey guys, I've got a situation I think I need multihop bgp for (logical-systems and bridge-domains). However it bugs me deeply that I don't "get" multihop BGP. My biggest bugbear is if my multihop-ebgp peer tells me he know the best way to x.x.x.x, the packets I send towards him must be routed by intermediaries, will those intermediaries use their tables and "hijack" my packets down their bits of wet string through 15 other ASs and to the moon and back?
