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.)
