+          <listitem>
+            <para>HelloTimeSec specifies the number of seconds a hello packet is
+            sent out by the root bridge and the designated bridges. Hello packets are
+            used to communicate information about the topology throughout the entire
+            bridged local area network.</para>

+            If the last seen (received) hello packet is more than this number of
+            seconds old, the bridge in question will start the takeover procedure
+            in attempt to become the Root Bridge itself.</para>
