+ <tag><label id="rtable-gc-period">gc period <m/time/</tag>
+ Specify a period of time between consecutive GC cycles. When there is a
+ significant amount of route withdraws, GC cycles are executed repeatedly
+ with given period time (with some random factor). When there is just
+ small amount of changes, GC cycles are not executed. In extensive route
+ server setups, running GC on hundreds of full BGP routing tables can
+ take significant amount of time, therefore they should use higher GC
+ periods. Default: adaptive, based on number of routing tables in the
+ configuration. From 10 s (with <= 25 routing tables) up to 600 s (with
+ >= 1500 routing tables).
