Does anyone know what the size of the ConnectRetry timer is? Is this a configurable value? If so what is the command used to configure it? I checked the TAC and searched for ConnectRetry timer and got nothing of suybstance back. The RFC references the ConnectRetry timer but makes no mention oof it size, more so it seems to indicate that its size is a vendor proprietary value from 1654 "The exact value of the ConnectRetry timer is a local matter, but should be sufficiently large to allow TCP initialization." If you know the answer, where did you get it from? I have the Halabi BGP book as well as the John Stewart book, is there another poeice of reference material which would aid in delving deeply into BGP?
