<TRACE> RABCD_0_1: Connect delayed by 5 seconds vs connect retry time

[Stefan Jakob]

Dear List,

Currently I am wondering, how I can improve this situation:

2011-02-09 10:34:36 <TRACE> RABCD_0_1: Connection lost (No route to host)
2011-02-09 10:34:36 <TRACE> RABCD_0_1: Connect delayed by 5 seconds
2011-02-09 10:34:40 <TRACE> RABCD_0_1: Connecting to 2001:from local
address 2001:

This output appears every 5 seconds in the log

This peer is in active mode and I want to increase the "retry time":


Regarding http://bird.network.cz/?get_doc&f=bird-6.html#ss6.1


connect retry time number

    Time in seconds to wait before retrying a failed attempt to connect.
Default: 120 seconds.

start delay time number

    Delay in seconds between protocol startup and the first attempt to
connect. Default: 5 seconds.


Imho the first startup should be delayed 5 seconds and after that
connect retry time should be used, to delay next connection attempt.

Why isn't this working? Design issue, bug or do I just look at the wrong
config options?

Rgds, Stefan
