Parameters
value: Specifies a VDP keepalive exponent in the range of 14 to 31.
Usage guidelines
The value for VDP keepalive time is expressed by the following equation:
VDP keepalive time (seconds) = 1.5 × [ 2VDP keepalive + (2 × ECP maximum retransmission time + 1) × 2ECP retransmission ] × 10—5
For detailed values, see Table 7.
Table 7 uses 3 and 16 (the defaults) as the ECP maximum retransmission time and the ECP retransmission exponent to calculate the VDP keepalive time. These two variables use the larger values proposed by the station and bridge through EVB TLV.
The network environment and configurations on the EVB bridge and station determine whether to use the defaults or the actual proposed values for the following ECP values:
ECP maximum retransmission time.
ECP retransmission exponent.
