As long as your neighbor doesn't mind more frequent hellos, there's no reason you can't lower the hello and hold timers. My 2821 with a couple full views has run hello 5, hold 20 seconds for years, no issues.

We've already reduced the BGP hold-time to 90 seconds. Can the hold-time be reduced further without causing other problems? I do not believe that BFD is an option since these are Internet connections. Are there any other options for reducing the failover time?
