Paradyne FrameSaver DSL, 9783 manual Service Level Verification Options 2, SLV Packet Size bytes

Configuration Options

Table 4-3. Service Level Verification Options (2 of 2)

SLV Timeout Clearing Event Threshold

Available Settings: 1, 2, 3, 4 . . . 20

Default Setting: 1

Specifies the number of consecutive SLV messages that must be received before the DLCI Inactive status is cleared.

1 ± 20 ± Sets the limit for the clearing event.

SLV Packet Size (bytes)

Available Settings: 64 ± 2048

Default Setting: 64

Sets the size of packets, in bytes, that will be used for SLV communications. SLV packets are used to track latency and other SLV-related variables.

When the packet size is changed, a new round trip and average latency calculation must be performed, so these measurements will not appear on the SLV Performance Statistics screen until a new sampling interval has occurred.

64 ± 2048 ± Sets the packet size for SLV communications.

SLV Synchronization Role

Available Settings: Tributary, Controller, None

Default Setting: Tributary

Determines the role the unit plays in maintaining synchronization of user history data collection and storage between FrameSaver devices.

Tributary ± Uses network timing received from incoming SLV communications and provides network-based synchronization information to other devices in the network.

Controller ± Uses its own internal time-of-day clock and provides synchronization information to other devices in the network based upon its own clock.

NOTE: Only one device in the network should be configured as the SLV synchronization controller.

None ± Incoming timing information is ignored and no timing information is sent out. This setting should only be used when network synchronization is not desirable, or when a single unit connects multiple networks or network segments.
