RE: BGP Dampening?

Max suppress penalty is a function of the reuse penalty and the max suppress
timer. Eg the default 12000 becomes 6000, becomes 3000, becomes 1500,
becomes 750. so 4 half lifes or 60minutes is taken to go from 12000 points
to 750.

Now decay time, im not to sure because my maths isn't that good anymore but
I suspect it is the time taken at a given rate of decay ( in this case the
rate of decay at 12000) but because this is an exponential function this
time will get longer and longer at the rate of decay continues to fall as
the penalty value gets lower.

Can anyone help me understanding Decay time and Max suppress penalty?

I am familiar with other parameters but I am not able to understand how
Decay time and Max suppress penalty is calculated. Doc CD only explains the
configurable parameters but not decay time and Max suppress penalty.

Thanks!
