> Are you aware of any "downside" to implementing this command ? I opted against using it on our network, after considering the consequences of having an eBGP link go down for a few seconds repeatedly (which has actually happened here twice in my memory). Under this circumstance the fast-external-fallover would probably have caused our routes to be dampened. Other than that, I think it's probably a bonus that a single very brief failure on an eBGP link doesn't require the tables to be reset.
