One thing to note about Juniper is that when GRES is enabled 
and you have an RE switchover or failure event, even with 
loss of BGP sessions, KRT routes remain valid for 3x 
minutes, and the router can continue to forward traffic for 
this amount of time based solely on the KRT routes.

But this is only applicable on systems that have multiple 
RE's.
