If you specify a percentage,messages are logged when the number of prefixes exceeds that percentage. Afterthe session is torn down, it is reestablished in a short time unless you include theidle-timeout statement. Then the session can be kept down for a specified amountof time, or forever. If you specify forever, the session is reestablished only after youissue a clear bgp neighbor command.Range: 1 through 1001667Chapter 73: Configuration Statements for Layer 3 Protocols
