Hello packets are held for a length of three times the value of the hello interval. To conserve bandwidth and 
CPU usage, use a high hello interval seconds. Use a low hello interval seconds for faster convergence (but 
uses more bandwidth and CPU resources).

congure a hello-multiplier lower than the default (3). The range is from 3 to 1000. 
The default is 3.
level-1 (OPTIONAL) Select this value to congure the hello multiplier independently for 
Level 1 adjacencies. This value is the default.
