RE: [swinog] OSPF Tuning...> why do you want to tune ospf timers ?

the default dead time is 120 sec. if a router crashs and the physical layer
doesnt go down for any reason (like bridged ethernet link with switches in
the middle), you can sit down, take a coffee, smoke a cig, whatever, until
the redundant path takes the routing over. Most of the common TCP stacks
will timeout their sessions.

indeed, but as the timers are "per interface" parameters, the "custom
timers" areas are defined.
