Re: Question on Restart Procedure - Restart Time

[Suresh Katukam <skatukam@cisco.com>]

Zhi,

This only allows the local node to wait for longer. If I want the other 
node to wait
forever, ( I do not want to depend on the other node's local policy ), I 
should be
able to indicate to the other node that - Please wait forever or Until Hello
established and Recovery timer expires.

Thanks,
Suresh
