[c-nsp] BGP timers

[Uddin, Tahir]

Hi

 

When connecting a CE to a PE, is there a minimum recommended BGP hold
down timer. I am currently using 90 seconds with both of my carriers but
it is causing applications to time out when there is a failure in one of
the carriers network or if a local loop goes down. One of the carriers
ruled out going down to 15 seconds, said it was too low.

 

Thanks
