Remarks 

Set the finwait timer of IPv6 
TCP packets

 

tcp ipv6 timer fin-timeout 
wait-time 

Optional 

675 seconds by default.

 

Set the synwait timer of IPv6 
TCP packets

 

tcp ipv6 timer syn-timeout 
wait-time 

Optional 

75 seconds by default.

 

Configure the size of IPv6 TCP 
receiving/sending buffer

 

tcp ipv6 window size 

Optional 

8 KB by default.

 

 

Configuring the Maximum Number of IPv6 ICMP Error Packets Sent within a 
Specified Time 

If too many IPv6 ICMP error packets are sent within a short time in a network, network congestion may 

occur. To avoid network congestion, you can control the maximum number of IPv6 ICMP error packets 

sent within a specified time. Currently, the token bucket algorithm is adopted. 

You can set the capacity of a token bucket, namely, the number of tokens in the bucket. In addition, you 

can set the update period of the token bucket, namely, the interval for updating the number of tokens in 

the token bucket to the configured capacity. One token allows one IPv6 ICMP error packet to be sent. 

Each time an IPv6 ICMP error packet is sent, the number of tokens in a token bucket decreases by 1. If 

the number of the IPv6 ICMP error packets that are continuously sent out reaches the capacity of the 

token bucket, the subsequent IPv6 ICMP error packets cannot be sent out until new tokens are put into 

the token bucket based on the specified update frequency. 

Follow these steps to configure the maximum number of IPv6 ICMP error packets sent within a 

specified time:

Optional 

By default, the capacity of a token 
bucket is 10 and the update period to 
100 milliseconds. That is, at most 10 
IPv6 ICMP error packets can be sent 
within an update period.

 

 

Configuring the Hop Limit of ICMPv6 Reply Packets 

When sending an ICMPv6 reply packet, the device will fill a configurable value in the Hop Limit field in 

the ICMPv6 reply packet header. 

Follow these steps to configure the hop limit of ICMPv6 reply packets:
