[j-nsp] Network Monitoring and trap generation

[harbor235]

I am looking to generate alarms based upon a backward transition of a BGP
peer,
e.g. from established to the not established state using HPOV. This is easy
enough with the
jnxBgpM2BackwardTransition object. However, the problem is that this message
is generated
after each attempt to reestablish the TCP connection, once a second! The
immediate answer
is to shut the BGP peer down until the peer can be reestablished, however,
this is not an option in all cases.

Can the trap be throttled or can I get HPOV to disregard additional attempts
until it has reached
the established state again, or is there a differnt SNMP object to look at?
Any guidance of this issue would be greatly appreciated.
