Hi - I have searched the archives but have not found an answer to my question - is there any danger in using excessively high TTL values with ebgp-multihop? For example, neighbor x.x.x.x ebgp-multihop 255 - 255 is generally much higher than needed, but is there any risk/danger ?? Thanks in advance. - Tim
There is a potential for blackholing traffic should you be dual (or multi) homed and if the ebgp-multihop session were able to re-establish over another path. Better to keep it close to what you'd expect your maximum number of hops to be to reduce the potential for undesirable modes. -Steve
