Really depends on a lot of things. 1.What router are you using? 2. Are you taking full tables from all of your upstreams? 3. Are you not using BFD ? 4. What version of RouterOS are you using?
V7 will be faster, 2216 will be faster than a 1036, your hold time is kinda long..

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?
