Hi Rohit,

I’ll give you a quick example for now and perhaps create a lesson for this later. Take a look at this example:

The CE routers use the same AS number and we use BGP allow AS in so that the CE routers accept prefixes with their own AS number.

Now imagine we have a direct link in between CE1 and CE2. We can have a routing loop here since BGP prefixes could be advertised from CE1 > PE1 > P > PE2 > CE2 > CE1.

To prevent this from happening, we add a SoO (Site of Origin) community tag to prefixes. This allows BGP to check where a prefix originated and prevents it from advertising it from CE2 to CE1 (or vice versa).
