I don't really get your question Taqdir,
BGP next hop is a mandatory attribute, the value of that field depends on the
BGP type between the advertizing router and its neighbor:
- eBGP : the next-hop is set to iP address of the exit interface to the
neighbor
- iBGP: Doesn't change the value of that field.
By default the eBGP next hop is always carried in local AS.

Subject: [OSL | CCIE_RS] ebgp next hop
please forgive me if this a stupid question
why BGP is so designed to carry the eBGP next hop inside local AS by default ?
are there any specific scenarios where eBGP next hop should be carried in local
AS ?
