Re: bgp scan-time

Hey team,

I am not sure if there is a blog which breaks down all the timers ... would
be interesting to read.

Here is a link which discusses the next hop tracking feature. I would
suggest browsing this as it relates to the scan operation and the default
timers.

For the scan time ... humm ... do you need to worry about this anymore? ;-)

Another good read is the command line config guide, look up bgp scan-time:

HTH,

Andrew
