External BGP (eBGP) Core Architecture
Hi all,
Can some body explain why transit routers can cause a loop if they do not run iBGP as discussed below?
"..All routers providing transit between multiple core routers in a region must also run iBGP to prevent routing loops, and they should have their iBGP sessions sourced from a loopback interface, with the loopback interface included in the regional IGP.."

Thanx in advance
