I've got two border gateways that peer (eBGP) with the same external AS; they also peer with each other (iBGP) as per normal BGP design.

Naturally, the BGP RIB contains two copies of every route; one learned from the external peer and one learned from the internal peer.

However, when I run "bgpctl show", both routes are marked with origin "i" (i.e. IGP).

Do I have to use "set origin egp" in the external neighbour's stanza in /etc/bgpd.conf? Doing so works, and produces the expected output, but should it be necessary?
