[c-nsp] Delay BGP peer session

[Matlock, Kenneth L]

It's ugly, but you could also use Embedded Event Manager if you're on a platform that supports it. Trigger on link up to wait X time, and then do a 'no neighbor <ip> shut' on the peer, and do a 'neighbor <ip> shut> immediately upon link down...

I would guess that flap dampening would be the proper solution.
