Usage Information Loopback interfaces are up constantly and the BGP session may need one interface constantly up to stabilize the
session. The neighbor update-source command is not necessary for directly connected internal BGP
sessions.
Neighbors are sorted according to the source and destination ip addresses. If an update-source ip address exists,
then the source ip address determines the order in which the neighbors are displayed.
