Re: Core Knowledge - Don't mis-interpret this

Uh... yeah, they do.
What if you want to control stability of your BGP sessions? You don't want
hold timers to be extremely low. So you set the timers.
But what is very important, is that in BGP customers can control your hold
timers!! So if you would not know that, customers would set it to 3 seconds,
and then the problems and instability are on their way, including higher BGP
process utilization.
