I have a question regarding BGP session time outs.

Is it likely that BGP times out before underlying IP topology reconvergences
after a link/node failure? Do service providers ever set such low values of
BGP timeouts that BGP timeout will occur?

If not, what else may cause a BGP session to time out?
