Note that with BGP nexthop tracking, the work that BGP Scanner has to do 
is significantly reduced.

No word yet on if it is reduced enough to stop causing latency spikes 
every 60 seconds on traceroutes going through the box, thus prompting 
stupid customers who have been spoiled by being on Juniper's for the past 
5 years to send in tickets thinking something is "wrong". :)
