[j-nsp] BGP multihop question

[David Ball]

  I'm not sure I'd bother with HSRP in this case, if I understand it
properly (possible that I don't).

  They have 2 routers (A & B), each with a loopback (assumedly the IPs
they want you to peer with), they have 2 switches, and then there's
your 2 routers (Y & Z).  Your routers and their routers each have 1 of
the IPs from the /29 you're using.  You should be able to simply have
a static route on Y pointing to A's loopback, and on Z pointing to B's
loopback,  (next-hop being their side of the /29).  Y would then
establish a BGP session to A, and Z to B (2 sessions total).
Alternatively, Y could establish a session to A *and* B, and so could
Z (4 sessions total, requires another static route on Y & Z), which
would provide a bit more redundancy.

  It's late on a Friday afternoon and I could be absent minded, but I
can't see how HSRP would help me in this topology if I'm doing BGP as
well.
