[j-nsp] iBGP convergence time

[Josef Buchsteiner]

        so  your  conclusion is that it is unrelated to private or
        public  ASN.  Can  you  look  if  there  are  a  lot  of
        retransmissions   during  the  convergence? Version 7.4R1
        was effected by an improper handling of RFC1323 which can
        result  in  very slow tcp throughput or even stalling the
        tcp session.

        Wether  you  are  effected  by this you can configure the
        following. You need to reset the TCP session to make sure
        non-tcp-rfc1323 is effective.

        josefb at minsk# show system internet-options
        no-tcp-rfc1323;
        no-tcp-rfc1323-paws;

        We have tracked this internal PR64682 and it is fixed in
        6.4R5 7.1R4 7.1R5 7.2R4 7.3R3 7.4R2 7.5R1 and higher.


        If  this  does  not  change  anything  I  would certainly
        suggest  to  look  first  at  the  sender and tcpdump the
        session,  look  for  drops  on the interface and so on. I
        would  be  very  interested to understand the symptom you
        see  and  get  to  an  explanation. ( if possible you can
        unicast me access details and we can check this together)

        thanks
        Josef
