I assume that means that if a peer drops out of sight then for two minutes some 
of the traffic will drop? As of now we use default routes. If a bgp session 
drops the traffic shifts over fairly fast (under 30 seconds).

Subject: Re: [j-nsp] Full routes on MX5

I have one in a very similar configuration, with three full feeds in 
IPv4 and IPv6.

It generally works just fine, but convergence time is slow.  It can take 
two minutes to process the full feed, and if you restart the box, it 
will take even longer.

It's a good machine for a small ISP though.
