When a BGP router loses power, it takes minutes for the peer on the other side of the connection to notice something is wrong and reroute the traffic. as i do not see this in rfc 1771 or draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-1[23].txt, i suspect that this is implementation specific. "The suggested value for the Hold Time is 90 seconds. The suggested value for the KeepAlive timer is 30 seconds."
the hello timer != noticing an interface has gone hard down, which i thought was your original point. randy
