The example below shows that regular updates are sent every 30 seconds and it's been 7 seconds since the last update, so the next update will ocurr in 23 seconds.
Flash Updates sends a new update as soon as a route fails. When the command "flash-update-threshold 10" is inserted, this means that the flash update will be suppressed if the next regular update is due in either 10 seconds or less. As the regular update is less than 10 seconds away no point in sending another flash update avoiding multiple updates from happening.
The default value of a Flash update is 5 seconds.
