Cool, I'll take a porterhouse steak, medium well ;-)
The lowest configurable value the IOS will take for the keepalive and
the hold time is 1sec each but since the RFC states that the lowest a
hold time can be is 3sec (technically 0 which the IOS does not allow)
the routers will default to 3sec for the hold time even though 1sec is
configured (idiot proofing). So technically they will not ALWAYS
"default to the lowest configured timer setting" ;-)

If I am not mistaken I do believe that the timers will default to the
lowest configured timer setting. Almost sure of this, but would have to
test this out again to be 100%. I would only bet a steak dinner on it.

This is about the timer command for a BGP neighbor. If I set the timer
for one end do I have to set it on the other neighbor or will both
keepalive and holdtime be negotiated when only configured for one peer?
This is in a production environment where we do not have access to the
ISP routers and we are peered to four providers. I would like to to
adjust the timers without the ISPs getting involved.
