Task: After a prefix flaps two times in a row, the advertisement should resume in 5 minutes.
I created the loopback, and shut/unshut it twice (as per above requirement) - on R3, this did not cause the route to be dampened.

It took 3 attempts. Also, flap-statistics show that the adv wont resume in 5min?

The verbiage in the SG left me scratching my head. If anyone has any input that would be great - I'm going back to the books for this.
