yes i saw your issue but was not able to solve mine with the notes in
the bug report.

If i move my IP from dummy0 to lo i do not even get a successful bgp
connection.

What i tried:

# ip a l dev lo
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
group default qlen 1
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet 37.228.152.3/32 scope global lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::200:ff:fe00:0/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

so ip is bound to lo.

frr.conf:
 neighbor internal-bgp update-source 37.228.152.3
 neighbor 37.228.152.2 peer-group internal-bgp


but:
# show ip bgp sum
...
37.228.152.2    4      34432       0       0        0    0    0    never
     Connect
...

So it always stays just in connect mode and never connects.

This most probably happens because a connection is not possible from lo:
# ping -I lo 37.228.152.2
PING 37.228.152.2 (37.228.152.2) from 37.228.152.3 lo: 56(84) bytes of data.

The route to 37.228.152.2 is set up like this:
# route -n | grep 37.228.152.2
37.228.152.2    192.0.2.2       255.255.255.255 UGH   20     0        0 br99
