AWS directconnect documentation change

Service: directconnect · 2026-06-13 · Documentation low

File: directconnect/latest/UserGuide/limits.md

Summary

Removed sections on BGP quotas and ASN limits including timers, hold values, and ASN range details.

Security assessment

The removal of BGP and ASN configuration details doesn't indicate a security fix. It's likely content reorganization without security implications.

-
-A hold value of 0 is not supported.
-
