Cost
Peer cost advertised to remote peers in the
capabilities exchange. If an end station can be
reached through more than one peer, the cost of
each peer will be considered when a circuit is
established. A lower cost indicates that peer will
be the preferred choice if there is more than one
path to the destination. A value of zero means no
cost has been set and that cost will not be
considered during circuit establishment.
Keep Alive Interval
Default remote peer keepalive interval in seconds.
The keepalive parameter refers to how often DLSw
peers send peer keep alives to each other. These
periodic messages allow DLSw to keep track of
the state of all peers. If set to zero, no keepalives
are sent.
Passive Connect
This variable indicates if DLSw will not initiate
remote peer connections to configured peers.
True indicates that it will not initiate remote peer
connections, false indicates that it will initiate
remote peer connections. In other words a passive
peer will wait for the remote peer to initiate a peer
connection. The default value is false.
BIU Segment
This variable indicates if DLSw will spoof the
maximum receivable Basic Information Unit
(frame) size in XID so that each end station sends
the largest frame it can. True indicates that it will
spoof, false indicates that it will not. The default
value is false.
Init Pacing Window
Initial pacing window size. This is the starting size
of the pacing window. DLSw uses an adaptive
pacing flow control algorithm that automatically
adjusts to congestion levels in the network.
Pacing windows are used to control how many
packets may be sent to a peer before
acknowledgement.
Max Pacing Window
Maximum pacing window size. This is the largest
size that the pacing window will grow to. DLSw
uses an adaptive pacing flow control algorithm
that automatically adjusts to congestion levels in
the network. Pacing windows are used to control
how many packets may be sent to a peer before
acknowledgement.
Promiscuous
This variable indicates if DLSw will accept
connections from non-configured remote peers.
Promiscuous routers will accept peer connection
requests from routers that are not preconfigured.
This feature allows central site routers to remain
unchanged when branch offices are added or
deleted. It also minimizes required coordination of
