Partner Management
V!CAS
“static” means always keep N channels open for connections to this
partner. When a connection is established with this partner, N chan-
nels are opened, and remain open until the link is closed.
“dynamic” means monitor throughput, and open additional ISDN
channels to this partner only when needed. Initially, 1 ISDN B-channel
is opened.
Total Number of Channels
= Defines the max # of channels to have
open with this partner. If static channel-bundeling is being used, this
also defines the # of channels to open at connection time.
RIP Send
= Which types of RIP packets to send to this partner. If
RIPv2 packets are sent, the V!CAS also sends the netmask of the prop-
agated IP address, which allows the V!CAS to propagate RIP packets
to networks that do not use the default netmask for their respective
network class.
RIP Receive
= Which types of RIP packets to accept (or ignore) from
this partner.
Van Jacobson Header Compression
= If turned “on” the TCP/IP
packet headers are compressed according to RFC 1144, resulting in a
better data-to-overhead-ratio, especially when using smaller packet
sizes.
IP Accounting
= If IP Accounting is turned “on” accounting messag-
es will be stored for each TCP, UDP, or ICMP session routed between
this partner.
See the section on the
menu for information on the format of accounting messages.
