Well, it is counted from the last received hello, so you have to add 'packets'
to OSPF debug to see when it started.

Also timers in BIRD have generally second granularity, so 4 sec timer may
timeout in some cases in 3.1 sec. And there is also one minor bug that may
cause some timers to te triggered ~1 s earlier.

So all these factors together, 4 s (or smaller) dead timers in BIRD
may be unreliable. I would suggest at least 8-10 s.
