Hello everyone,

We're deploying a brand new network for a customer. We've got problems on several ADSL links: we're having repetitive BGP Adj connect/disconnect problems.
On these links I've identified around 2% packet loss....with a scheme like this one: !!!!!!.....!!!!!
Provider confirmed a 2% ATM cells loss on the links but they offer no service guarantee for that...
We use C887 routers with IOS 15.1.1. ADSL+GRE. Provider use Huawei DSLAMs.

Is there any "config solution" to that problem? Big chance we'll get packet losses on these ADSL links from time to time... I can't afford the bgp sessions to flap like this...
Do you think I should increase the hellos value with the following command line:  neighbor ip_address advertisement-interval seconds ?
If so, I know that I have to enter the same values on both sides of the session (C887 <------> ASR1002)....but I don't want this to apply to all my different BGP sessions on the core router (ASR-1002F).....Below part of the conf and part of a debug.
Thanks in advance for your help!
