Create business incentives to improve it. This is a non-technical problem, we've long had technical tools to make it fast, there just isn't incentive to make it fast. Customers are not asking operators for better convergence speeds. > Please help us out to find out by answering our short anonymous survey > (<10 minutes). Can you tell me what have you done so far? What are the default MRAI values for each AFI/SAFI for IOS, IOS-XR, Junos, SROS, VRP and EOS? Then people responding don't have to check what their NOS does, they can refer to your table and tell the default value, since this is what >99% will be using. Now your survey has built-in selection bias, people who answer it are people who know what it is and who are concerned about it and have changed it, this is not a representative group and you will start your work with very bad data. -- ++ytti
