This is off a little bit.

The question is why aren't the MIB discontinuity objects present on a
per-peer basis rather than on a per BGP instance basis.

My response was that peer discontinuities do not result in MIB counter
resets.  MIB counter resets only occur when there is a discontinuity in
the BGP instance.

Not said at the meeting: This does mean that for the majority of
implementations of BGP where multiple instances are done in a single
process that when you have a discontinuity event (BGP crashes and
restarts), all of the discontinuity timers will have reset.
