SDWAN Overlay Link failover takes 3 minutes

Hi,

FOS  7.2.8

I'm testing my SDWAN overlay link failover and it takes around 3 minutes most likely due to BGP holddown timer 180secs.

 

I've tweaked the BGP timers based on the link below and It takes about 15seconds now for failover. Is there way I can have a failover of 500ms, what timers should I set?

Appreciate your feedbacks. Thank you :)

May I verify if you already have SDWAN Performance SLA to check the status of your Overlays?
