Hi
For the MPLS L3VPN the answer is that the next hop attribute needs to be
an address from the default VRF and if the peering is happening in a VRF
context, there is no address from the default VRF you could use as next
hop other than self.
This can be rather inconvenient as there are
I'd like to add that one major advantage is limiting next-hops, thus
labels in your network. This is not just theoretical concern but there
are plenty of practical networks using practical hardware where you
simply cannot expose all next-hops to every node.

On an IX, without next-hop-self peer A leaking peer B's routes they receive to
C will have C send direct to B on the IX (assuming flat layer 3 addressing,
and not multiple little /30s or /96s everywhere or something - do any
exchanges do that?)
This may seem more efficient than sending C's
Hello everyone,
Question, what are the true benefits to using the next-hop self feature,
doesn't matter what vendor.
Most information I see is just to make sure you have reach-ability for external
routes via IBGP, but what if all your IBGP knows the eBGP links?
Is there a added benefit to
