A senior network designer suggests that you should improve network convergence times by reducing BGP timers between your CE router and the PE router of the service provider. Which three factors should you to consider when you adjust the timer values? (Choose three.)

Question

Accepted Answer

A. access bandwidth Low access bandwidth can delay or drop BGP keepalive packets, causing false session timeouts, so the timer floor must account for worst-case transmission delay on that link. B. service provider agreement to support tuned timers The PE router belongs to the service provider, so the SP must agree to and configure matching timer values - mismatched timers default to the higher value, negating the optimization. C. number of routes on the CE router A larger CE routing table means UPDATE processing and route installation take longer during reconvergence, so timers must be generous enough to avoid premature session teardown during heavy BGP processing.

Answer

D. number of VRFs on the PE router The number of VRFs on the PE affects overall PE resource utilization but is not a direct input into calculating appropriate BGP timer values for a specific CE-PE session.

Answer

E. service provider scheduling of changes to the PE SP scheduling of changes is an operational change-management concern, not a technical factor that influences what timer values are technically appropriate for the BGP session.
