The delay to enforce in between a TCP connection with this peer becoming established and a BGP Open message being sent. If this delay is zero, then no delay will be injected, and a BGP Open message will be sent as soon as the TCP connection allows it. This field can be changed at any time. However, if the field is changed while the peer is admin_status UP, the change will only take effect after the peer has been cycled admin_status DOWN and then UP, thus forcing the peer session to be restarted. In this case, until the peer is set admin_status DOWN, the peer will be marked as out of date (as reported by the config_state field in the AMB_BGP_PEER_STATUS row for the peer).
