To avoid confusion with holddown timers, an instructor I had in a
routing course many years ago referred to the EIGRP timers as 'hello
interval' and 'dead interval' (it may have even been referred to as
such in the course texts, I can't remember), where the dead interval
is the amount of time that passes before a neighbor is declared dead
if a hello has not been received.
