timers throttle lsa all
Configure LSA transmit intervals.
Syntax
timers throttle lsa all {start-interval | hold-interval | max-
interval}
To return to the default, use the no timers throttle lsa command.
Parameters
start-interval Set the minimum interval between initial sending and
resending the same LSA. The range is from 0 to 600,000
milliseconds.
hold-interval Set the next interval to send the same LSA. This interval is the
time between sending the same LSA after the start-interval
has been attempted. The range is from 1 to 600,000
milliseconds.
max-interval Set the maximum amount of time the system waits before
sending the LSA. The range is from 1 to 600,000
milliseconds.

Usage
Information
LSAs are sent after the start-interval and then after hold-interval until the maximum
interval is reached. In throttling, exponential backoff is used when sending same
LSA, so that the interval is multiplied until the maximum time is reached. For
example, if the start-interval 5000 and hold-interval 1000 and max-interval
