the peer 10.65.0.6 did not send any UPDATE or KEEPALIVE message for $holdtime. "bgpctl show neighbor 10.65.0.6" while the session is established will show it, like Last read 00:00:01, holdtime 90s, keepalive interval 30s In this case, the negotiated holdtime is 90 seconds (rather typical) and we will send a KEEPALIVE every 30s, unless UPDATEs happen which will reset the timer. You can have a closer look at the timers using bgpctl show neighbor 10.65.0.6 timer Whenever the hold timer expires the connection is considered dead and is reset. When that happens, a NOTIFICATION is sent. That happened here. Why the peer didn't send (or you didn't received) anything for $holdtime is the question you need to answer. -- Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting - Hamburg & Amsterdam
