shown below:

During the configuration test phase, each test will run for this period. The purpose of
the configuration tests is to validate that the basic SLA can be achieved so this time
should be fairly short, but long enough to give a valid view of the network.
Values should be entered in one of the standard time period formats (see section
13.3.1). The default value is 3 seconds.
