30 60 isn't a good choice because that means that after 30.1 seconds a keepalive comes in and then after 60.0 seconds the session will expire

Wouldn't the underlying TCP retry sooner than that?

I suspect that given update messages serve as implicit
keepalives, it's _extremely rare that an actual keepalive
message is needed in global routing environments.
