We have two circuits coming into our NOC. We peer with 3 different providers on each circuit. If a circuit fails, BGP will do it's magic and traffic will start flowing though the surviving circuit.
However, we seemed to get about 5 - 10 minutes of unstable Internet while this is happening. Is this normal? If not, what can I do to speed up the process? Is it a function of my routers having to rebuild routes? Will new faster routers help? Is it a function of timers? Keep-Alive is 30s and hold is at 90s. Should I investigate BFD? How fast could I expect to get this fail-over to work under best conditions?
