RETRANSMIT LIMIT Characteristic
RETRANSMIT LIMIT Characteristic
Introduction
The RETRANSMIT LIMIT characteristic specifies the number of times that the access
server resends a message without an acknowledgment. After the specified time limit,
the access server times out the circuit. If other service nodes offer the same service that
timed out, the access server attempts automatic failover.
RETRANSMIT LIMIT Values
The retransmit limit range is from 4 to 120. If traffic load is heavy or the network
experiences noise problems, set the value higher than the default value of 8. On the
other hand, if rapid error detection is important, you may want to specify a lower value.
Changing the RETRANSMIT LIMIT Characteristic
To change the RETRANSMIT LIMIT characteristic, use the DEFINE/SET/CHANGE
SERVER RETRANSMIT LIMIT command. The following example shows how to
change the retransmit limit to 100:
Local> CHANGE SERVER RETRANSMIT LIMIT 100
