Hello Jason,

you mean the MinRx/Tx timers of 1sec? That's fine as you use echo mode.
MinRx/Tx is for the control packets which run slow speed when echo is
doing the fast transmit and detection.

I would expect you need to configure the spf timer values for ISIS as
well to avoid a long initial wait period. Not sure if your IOS versions
allow this.


Regards, Marc
