IBM SC30-3681-08 manual Multiplier-control-timeout, Path-switch-delay, Recong-delay-min

Con®guring Forum LE Clients

If multicast-send-avg equals multicast-send-peak, then a constant bit rate (CBR) multicast send is signalled. Otherwise, a variable bit rate (VBR) multicast send is signalled. Multicast-send-avg must at least equal multicast-send peak.

A reserved bandwidth multicast send VCC may improve data transfer rates in congested networks, but reserving bandwidth and not using it wastes network resources.

When the multicast-send-type is reserved, then multicast-send-no and multicast-send-peak must be speci®ed.

Valid Values:

Best Effort or Reserved

Default Value:

Best Effort

Example:

LEC Config> set multicast-send-type best-effort

multiplier-control-timeout

This parameter sets the value of the control timeout multiplier used in the control timeout algorithm described on page 302.

Valid Values:

2 - 5

Default Value:

2

Example:

LEC Config> set multiplier-control-timeout 5

path-switch-delay

Sets the path switch delay.

The LEC must ensure that all frames sent through the BUS to a destination have arrived at the destination before it can start using a Data Direct VCC. This is accomplished using the ¯ush protocol, or by waiting path-switch-delay seconds after sending the last packet to the BUS. Smaller values improve performance, but may result in out-of-order packets in a heavily congested network.

Valid Values:

An integer number of seconds in the range of 1 to 8.

Default Value:

6

Example:

LEC Config> set path-switch-delay 5

recon®g-delay-min

This parameter sets the minimum delay time when LEC returns to the initial state. This value must be ≤ recon®g-delay-max.

Valid Values:

1 - the value of recon®g-delay-max

Default Value:

1
