(Ignoring BGP for the moment, which has no clue of the reliability of its links) That's due to the "slow down, fast up" nature of IETF protocols.

IMHO, the key to fast-response protocols is reversing this behavior: require (say) 10 keepalives in a row for a link to be "up", and missing one forces it "down". S
