Hi I am Venkateshwaran(Venkat in short) from Chennai, India. Please clarify how do we trigger KeepAliveTimer_Expires event in OPENSENT state. On the reception of OPEN message BGP FSM sets keepalive time value and moves to OPENCONFIRM state, etc. In RFC 4271 i can see the effects because of this KeepAliveTimer_Expires event in OPENSENT state. Please help me to know this concept behind. Regards Venkat. Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy!
