The session wasn't lost.  Set it to warn you well before killing the
session.

sprint does this to us every few weeks. never seen it from any of our
other links.

"neighbor xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx maximim-prefix" is your friend...  ;-)

maximum-prefix sucks because it kills your session, but sucks less than
killing the entire bgp router process. i wish there was an option to simply
drop announcements over the limit rather than killing the session.
