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?
