Re: use of next-hop unchanged, bgp

Hi,

By default, a router changed the next-hop of any BGP routes which were
advertised to an eBGP peer. In some circumstances, we don't want that
happen if data path doesn't need to send back through advertised
router. I means, in some situation shut as Inter-AS MPLS VPN Option C,
control plan's path and data plan' path are quite different.

Cheers,

Fitter
