[c-nsp] Faster BGP Failover

[Vincent Aniello]

What can be done to reduce the amount of time it takes BGP to detect the failure of an Internet connection and start routing traffic through another Internet connection?

We've already reduced the BGP hold-time to 90 seconds.  Can the hold-time be reduced further without causing other problems?  I do not believe that BFD is an option since these are Internet connections.  Are there any other options for reducing the failover time?

Thanks.
