I thought  BGP advertisement interval is the following.

   ibgp : 5 second, ebgp : 30 second.

But, now I realize that the default ibgp interval of Cisco is  0 second.
(ios 12.0 & IOX)

On the 6500, this seems to have been changed somewhere in the 12.2SX line.

When did it change? ^^;

The answer to that probably depends on which platform/train you're interested in.

I wonder  if  No interval time for bgp advertisement would bring insecure
network by flapping network.

More annoying, AFAIK, JunOS has a default update time of 0 for eBGP, and I'd imagine it's the same for iBGP.
