It is the same amount of time, it has little to do with processing power
I think.

Soft reset is IMHO reliable enough for the feats that it's available
for.

I always try a soft reset first (on both sides to be sure), if I don't
see any result then I do a hard reset. You can save a lot of time with
soft resets if you do a lot of experimenting. There is actualy a list of
things which can use the soft reset, don't know it by heart, do a little
research.

Subject: BGP session resets: Hard versus Soft

Hi gang,

On a 2500 series router, doing a hard reset of a BGP session takes about
1
to 2 minutes. In the lab, since they use higher end routers, I'm
wondering
how long that takes?

Also, I've herad that soft resets aren't 100% reliable and therefore I
should just do a hard reset. So, bottom line, do people think it's
better
to do hard or soft BGP session resets in the real lab.

Thanks in advance, PM
