Progressive BGP route dampening

[Daniel Karrenberg <]

Tony,

you might want to be a bit more specific about the values you are using,
i.e.  how long certain prefixes will be ignored.  This will make
troubleshooting easier and reduce calls into your NOC. 

This brings up an interesting question too: Can we still troubleshoot
the connectivity problems arising if transit ISPs use all different
values for this or even the proposed exponential version?
