The sample or default timers are not optimal for todays wired links. We cannot 
trust on lower layer state (driver issues, switches). I suggested 
(hello=1,dead=4) some years ago. Acee responded this is topic for further 
discussion.

Resulted in "Minimising convergence time should be a goal" in RFC 7368.

At last IETF, Henning hacked olsrd2, now it has better zero-conf and it has 
SADR. I tested using a homenet scenario (NRL core simulation). olsrd2 converged 
much faster than ospf6d. Both ran with defaults, as mandatory in homenet.

My 2ct on RP requirement for convergence speed: 1-hop convergence should be 
within 5 seconds, network wide convergence within 15 seconds. Reasoning: this 
is _additional_ time in the total boot procedure.

Another 2ct: during convergence, there should not be looped packets. Reasoning: 
especially on shared media such as wireless, looped packets effect RP behavior 
and other user traffic badly, and thus result in bad user experience.
