Description After a link is set up, the timer idle timer will take effect. If no interesting packets are
transmitted on the link within the specified time, DCC will automatically disconnect
the link. If timer idle is set to 0, the link will never be disconnected, regardless of
whether there are no packets, which comply with the “permit” statements, to be
transmitted over the link or not.
