MPOA Client Configuration Parameters

Table 30 describes the MPOA Client configuration parameters.

Table 30 MPOA Client Configuration Parameters

Variable	Name	Description
MPC-p1	shortcut-setup frame time	If an MPC forwards at least MPC-p2 frames to the same target
		within any period MPC-p1 via the default forwarding path, it should
		initiate the procedure to establish a shortcut. The MPC-p1 and
		MPC-p2 parameters specify a default mechanism for automatically
		detecting flows in the absence of other information. Other
		mechanisms (e.g. RSVP) may be used in specific cases to override
		this default.
		(Minimum = 1 sec., default = 1 sec., maximum = 60 sec.)

MPC-p2	shortcut-setup frame count
MPC-p3	flow detection protocols
MPC-p4	MPC initial retry time
MPC-p5	MPC retry time maximum
MPC-p6	hold down time

See MPC-p1.

(Minimum = 1 sec., default = 10 sec., maximum = 65535 sec.)

A set of protocols on which to perform flow detection. Default = ().

Initial retry time used by the MPOA retry mechanism. (Minimum = 1 sec., default = 5sec., maximum = 300 sec.)

Maximum retry time used by the MPOA retry mechanism. (Minimum = 10 sec., default = 40 sec., maximum = 300 sec.)

Minimum time to wait before reinitiating a failed resolution attempt. This is usually set to a value greater than MPC-p5. (Minimum = 30 sec., default = MPC-p%*4, maximum = 120 sec.)
