With regard to your earlier comments about busy routers "pausing" BGP, perhaps this is something that can be investigated at a vendor software level.

In the interest of stability, I would certainly want keepalives to be processed ahead of routing updates.
BGP is TCP-based, so there is no (easy) way of ensuring that the keepalives go to the top of the queue without possibly corrupting the routing data itself. -- Ryan O'Connell - <ryan () complicity co uk> - http://www.complicity.co.uk I'm not losing my mind, no I'm not changing my lines, I'm just learning new things with the passage of time
