[nsp] ebgp vs ebgp multihop

[Nipper, Arnold]

Simple rule: if you don't have to do it don't do it. I only came across
multi-hop in the following situtations:

 + direct hops are not capable of running bgp (or bgp with full tables)
 + bundeling of links
 + for monitoring purposes

AFAIR there are no special caveats you have to be aware of.
