Re: In Service Software Upgrade Draft

The point we were discussing was the fact that some implementations will
reset the session timers / statistics. While the ISSU process may / should
not affect the control and forwarding plane, in  some implementations the
timers for the session up-time and other statistics   are reset . Should
we address this as part of the Exit criteria for an ISSU process ?
