Technical Summary

   This document defines the SendHoldtimer, along with the
   SendHoldTimer_Expires event, for the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
   Finite State Machine (FSM).  Implementation of the SendHoldTimer
   helps overcome situations where a BGP connection is not terminated
   after the local system detects that the remote system is not
   processing BGP messages.  This document specifies that the local
   system should close the BGP connection and not solely rely on the
   remote system for connection closure when the SendHoldTimer expires.
   This document updates RFC4271.

Working Group Summary

This draft received significant commentary over its lifetime from original
