   BGP_IP_ADDRESS localIP;
   BGP_IP_ADDRESS remoteIP;
   USHORT uHoldTime;
   DWORD dwRemoteASN;
   BOOL bAutoStart;
   BGP_PEERING_OP_MODE opMode;
 } BGP_PEER,
  *PBGP_PEER;

dwFlags: Specifies the BGP peer attribute that is being modified. This field is used while modifying the BGP peer configuration. This value MUST be a bitwise OR combination of one or more of the following values.
