I think the correct way to use this command is
to set the upper threshold to an absurdly high amount
based on a calculation of your memory capability. And the
warning threshold to an amount that you start to turn in
your grave, if you had one. If it gets to to the upper
threshold level you have bigger problems to worry about
than a loss of a peer session.

You're absolutely correct! :-) I did not RTFM, and I soon discovered
that I should have. But, I just removed that statement since it really
wasn't necessary. I was just playing around and got burned. As
you can tell, I still have not RTFM about that particular command since
I did not know there was a "warning-only" keyword.
The moral of the story? RTFM!! ;-) (Can you tell I love that
acronym?)

maybe you forgot to RTFM and missed that
"warning-only" part. Check it again ;>
Of course, it may have been a good thing
if you were to get the entirety of the IPv4
prefixes as /32's from your peer. I bet
you wouldn't like that. I think I'd rather
have the session go down.
