The following patches change various defaults in quagga. Many of these are timers that were set many years ago (180s BGP holdtime for example) that need to be updated for modern convergence requirements.

Oh, yeah :)

One thing, can be hard to pick the right defaults, and some might want the old ones. I wonder could we have some kind of 'profile' command to switch between sets of defaults?

Daniel Walton (10):
 Lower the default MRAI timer for iBGP peers to 0
 Lower the default MRAI timer for EBGP peers to zero

The MRAI oh so badly needs to be reduced. I tried having a go at persuading IDR on this yonks ago, after reading a couple of interesting papers on it. However, without success. It got watered down to:

I'd kind of go for some very low but non-0 value for eBGP though, in case there were still others out there with flap-damping enabled.
