Subject: [PATCH pve-network 09/16] evpn controller: add ebgp-multihop setting
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 18:33:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260414163315.419384-10-s.hanreich@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260414163315.419384-1-s.hanreich@proxmox.com>
This setting already exists in the BGP plugin, so it is moved to the
base plugin - so that it can be reused by the EVPN controller as well.
This setting only has an effect if the BGP mode is explicitly set to
eBGP. This setting is required in particular for implementing Inter-AS
Option C, defined in RFC 4364, which requires the use of multihop
eBGP sessions.
