OT: BGP convergence time internet

Hi group,

I've got a question a about the convergence over the internet.

For example if we have two datacenters one in the US and one in the
Netherlands and we run a BGP AS between those datacenters wtih US as primary
entry point and the one in the netherlands will be pre-pended serveral time
to make it the backup entry point. If the primary connection fails and stop
advertising the route, how long will it take before US will receive updates
from the netherlands?

Thanks in advance

Maarten
