User Guidelines
Whenever policies (route-maps/prefix-lists/as-path-lists) or neighbor
attributes like send-community, remove-private-asn, etc. are modified by the
user, the policies are scheduled to be applied after the current delay timeout.
Whenever the delay is configured by the user, the pending policy changes if
any are re-scheduled with the new delay if the previous delay timeout is not
expired yet. Configuring the delay with the value of 0 seconds means, the
changes are applied immediately.
