This read-create integer is the proposed keepalive hold timer for this LDP entity, in seconds, specifying how long this router will wait without receiving a keepalive from its peer before declaring the LDP session down. It directly determines failure-detection speed for an established LDP session, trading off tolerance for missed keepalives against how quickly a dead peer is noticed. An administrator prioritizing fast failure detection on a core LDP session might reduce csLdpEntityKeepAliveHoldTimer closer to three times the configured keepalive interval rather than leaving it at a larger default.
