<br>
I have been in the process of trying to BFD all my BGP peers recently, to bring down my convergence times.<br>
<br>
Interestingly I deal with 4 providers, so far I have had 2 who will not implement nor plan to. 1 who is thinking about it and 1 who was ready to turn it on.<br>
<br>
This has raised my curiosity a bit. When I asked the list about low values for BGP keepalive/hold, I got the impression some (few) used low values. But most used the default 3m.<br>
<br>
3min seem like an eternity in networking time.<br>
<br>
So am I being a bad netizen asking for BFD or low (10/30) BGP timers ?<br>
<br>
