well, you can modify the various timers of course, but it is not going to make all that much of a difference. well, actually it could, if your two uplink providers peer closely. in short, it's the way things are. bgp does not prevent downtime for everybody completely, it bribgs connectivirty back quickly after line failures. btw, bgpd notices line failure way way way way fatser when that results in a link state change on the interface, -- Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting - Hamburg & Amsterdam
