HP UX Internet and Networking Software manual SPX Verify Timeout number

NET.CFG Options Reference

Protocol SPX Option

If SPX has not heard from the other side of the connection within this time, it sends packets to the other side asking for verification that the connection still exists.

Syntax	spx listen timeout number
	Replace number with a number of ticks.
Default	108 (about 6 seconds)
Example	To set the amount of time (in ticks) that SPX waits before
	it requests a packet to 11 seconds, you would place the
	following lines in your NET.CFG file:
	protocol spx
	spx listen timeout 200

NOTE:There are approximately 18.21 ticks per second on IBM PCs and compatibles.

SPX VERIFY TIMEOUT number

Specifies how often (in ticks) the SPX protocol sends a packet to the other side of a connection to indicate that it is still alive.

If no packets are being exchanged on the SPX connection by the software that established the session, SPX sends packets at regular intervals to verify its presence in the connection.

Syntax	spx verify timeout number
	Replace number with a number of ticks.
Default	54 (about 3 seconds)
Example	To specify that SPX send a packet to the other side of a
	connection every six seconds, you would place the
	following lines in your NET.CFG file:
	protocol spx
	spx verify timeout 108
