Why do you need (configurable) MRAI timers?
Because i'm studing a way to programmaticaly decide the MRAI timer in way to reduce the convergence of BGP after a node fail, so i need a MRAI configurable or at least implemented in the code to modify it like I think Maybe thees could help you : https://www.noction.com/blog/bgp-path-hunting
Or perhaps not wait for MRAI timers to collapse, and just immediately process & propagate any changes as they come in? If you want to reduce convergence timing, is it helpful to hold back communicating state changes to your neighbors? If you think some form of MRAI timing is useful you can of course attempt to implement this yourself and submit a patch.
Look for the word "MRAI" in these RIPE Routing-WG minutes

i didn't catch why you linked me that, i read where appear the word "MRAI", could you please explain what do you want to notice me?
My point is that there is contention around the topic of MRAI and there are widely deployed 'misimplementations'. Geoff Huston's comments on this topic are quite insightful. Kind regards, Job
