[c-nsp] Faster BGP Failover

[Chuck Church]

As long as your neighbor doesn't mind more frequent hellos, there's no
reason you can't lower the hello and hold timers.  My 2821 with a couple
full views has run hello 5, hold 20 seconds for years, no issues.

Subject: [c-nsp] Faster BGP Failover

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.
