Reading Doyle's V1 book. Page 195 mentions that when an update with a hop count higher than that in the routing table is received for a route, the route will go into holddown for 180 [sic] seconds (three update periods).
In the cisco page (below) for the "timers basic" command, the page states that "...A route enters into a holddown state when an update packet is received that indicates the route is unreachable. The route is marked inaccessible and advertised as unreachable..." It would seem that the explaination on the cisco site is correct and the Doyle text is incorrect. Could someone confirm or explain what Doyle might be refering too?
