Hello Karl, Thanks for sharing your views...

I really like the idea of reducing that second timer to 100 ms as you did
over there.., but i am worried about the stability of the network in the
event of flaps..

How long you had been operating this network with these values.. Did you
face any issues in terms of stability..?

fyi.. we have BFD for fast dead peer detection; so we dont need the "ip ospf
dead-interval minimal hello-multiplier 4" part ..

Regards
-Venkat
