The control messages are encapsulated in a single-fragment frame where the C-bit, the B-bit, and
the E-bit are all set. The details of the message format are given in FRF.16.1.
Table 6 lists the user
configured control parameters with values as specified in FRF.16.1.
T_HELLO Timer - this timer controls the rate at which hello messages are sent. Following a
period of T_HELLO duration, a HELLO message is transmitted onto the Bundle Link.
Note that T_HELLO Timer is also used, during the Bundle Link adding process, as an additional
delay before re-sending an ADD_LINK message to the peer Bundle Link when this peer Bundle
Link does not answer as expected.
T_ACK Timer - this timer defines the maximum period to wait for a response to any message
sent onto the Bundle Link before attempting to retransmit a message onto the Bundle Link.
N_RETRY - this counter specifies the number of times a retransmission onto a Bundle Link will
be attempted before an error is declared and the appropriate action taken.
