Cisco engineers themselves don't recommend this, I had a client that wanted
50ms failover for a specific application and the offial Cisco answer was
that using HSRP for that critical of an application is not wise, we had to
go to a an L2 technology to meet that requirment (Etherchannel on
Riverstones)

Subject: HSRP Timers in msec (maybe OT)

Has anyone seen any networks where they lowered their
HSRP timers down to a hellotime of 300 msec and hold
of 1 second? this happens to be on redundant 6509 /
MSFCs.

Spanning tree isn't tweaked and if theres a STP issue
it would take Spanning tree longer then 1 sec to
converge anyway so I don't really understand why
someone would lower their timers so low.

Just curious.
