3.4.12.3 Managing the Data Path Function
The Data Path function controls the creation, maintenance, and deletion of data
paths within the NPU. You can specify the throughput-threshold parameter that
is used to define the upper limit for the throughput that can be provided by the
ASN-GW. Other data path function parameters are configurable only by the
vendor.
This section describes the commands to be used for:
 “Configuring the Parameter for the Data Path Function” on page 236
 “Restoring the Default Parameter for the Data Path Function” on page 236
eapTimerTransfer The maximum number of times the MS can attempt for initial entry to the
network. If the number of EAP transfers exceeds the value of this
parameter, the NPU de-registers the MS.
eapCounterTransferMax The number of times the NPU can retransmit the EAP ID request until it
receives a EAP ID response.
eapCounterReAuthAttemptMax The maximum number of times the NPU may handle a an
MS/network-initiated re-authentication request. When the number of
re-authentication attempts exceeds the value of this parameter, the MS is
de-registered.
authTimerReauthCmpltHold The period, in milliseconds, within which, re-authentication of the MS
should be complete. If the MS is not authenticated within this period, the
NPU reinitiates MS authentication.
eapCounterRndTripsMax The number EAP roundtrips in one authentication/re-authentication
process.
authTimerPmkLifetime The period, in seconds, for which the MS authentication key is valid. At the
end of this period, the NPU de-registers the MS.
authTimerPmkGaurd The duration of the guard timer for the MS authentication keys. the NPU
initiates re-authentication for the MS after the pmk guard timer has
expired. (The value of this timer is pmk-lifetime - pmk-guardtime.)
If the value of this parameter is 0, the guard timer is not started.
authTimerAuthFailureHold The period, in seconds, for which the MS context is retained after
authentication failure.
authCounterNtwEntryMax The maximum number of times that the NPU may handle a network entry
request from an MS, after prior attempts for that MS has already failed.
After the NPU has handled max-ntwentry number of attempts and its
value is 0, the MS is assigned the unauthenticated mode.
