Abstract
This document defines the SendHoldTimer, along with theSendHoldTimer_Expires event, for the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)Finite State Machine (FSM). Implementation of the SendHoldTimerhelps overcome situations where a BGP connection is not terminatedafter the local system detects that the remote system is notprocessing BGP messages. This document specifies that the localsystem should close the BGP connection and not solely rely on theremote system for connection closure when the SendHoldTimer expires.This document updates RFC 4271.
