In regards to multiple routers say you have .4 and .5 both with a HA address of .1 when using eBGP it will likely be the “old first” as you say that your host will pass the INBOUND data to. In regards to the outbound data, your host will accept the data from either .4 or .5 without issue, in fact it is a common configuration to have people the oldest BGP session be the inbound and then manipulate the HA and have .1 be on the newest. That way you have a bit of load distributed between the inbound and outbound host. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Hope that helps,</div><div class="">Mike</div><br class=""><div class="">
