Which BGP option is required when load sharing over multiple equal-bandwidth parallel links from
a single CE router to a single ISP router over eBGP?

A.
eBGP Multipath
B.
eBGP Multihop
C.
BGP Synchronization
D.
Public AS numbers
Explanation:
The eBGP multihop allows a neighbor connection between two external peers that do not have
direct connection. The multihop is only for eBGP and not for iBGP. For example, in the topology
below router A wants to establish neighbor relationship with the loopback0 of router B (to allow
load balancing), which does not have direct connection so it must use “ebgp-multihop”![]()
For your reference, the full configurations of both router A & B are shown below:
![]()
Note: If router B wants to establish neighbor relationship with the directly connected interface of
router A, it only needs these commands:![]()
But notice the traffic from router B would be sent to 172.16.10.2 interface only and load balancing
would not take place.
