This object reports the keepalive hold time, in seconds, that was locally configured at the time this LDP session was established. Admins use this alongside the peer's advertised hold time to see what value the local side proposed during negotiation, noting it reflects config at session start and may not match current settings if they've since changed. For example, an admin troubleshooting an unexpectedly short session timeout might find this object still shows an old, lower hold-time value from before a recent configuration update, since it wasn't renegotiated.
