Specifying a default VSI manager
When the bridge receives a VDP packet (except for a De-Associate packet) from a station, it contacts the
VSI manager specified in the VDP packet to get VSI interface resources and policies.
The VSI manager ID TLV in a VDP packet carries the VSI manager's IP address. If the value for the TLV is
0, the VDP packet does not contain a VSI manager's IP address, so the bridge communicates with the
specified default VSI manager.
To specify a default VSI manager:

By default, no default VSI manager
is specified.
Configuring VDP negotiation parameters
After a station sends a VDP request other than a De-Associate request to the bridge, the bridge requests
the VSI interface resources and policies from the VSI manager. If the bridge receives no response from the
VSI manager before the VDP response-wait-delay time expires, the VDP negotiation fails. The VDP
response-wait-delay time on the EVB bridge is calculated as:
VDP response-wait-delay time (seconds) = 2
VDP
resource-wait-delay
× 10
—
5
.
The value of the VDP resource wait-delay exponent is the larger of the values proposed by the station and
bridge through EVB TLV.
When a Pre-Associate, Pre-Associate with Resource Reservation, or Associate request from a station is
successfully handled, the VSI manager notifies the bridge to create a VSI interface for the corresponding
VM. Then the bridge starts a "VDP keepalive timer" for the VSI interface. If the bridge receives no
keepalive from the station before the timer expires, it releases resources reserved for the association. The
VDP keepalive time is calculated as:
VDP keepalive time (seconds) = 1.5 × [ 2
VDP
keepalive
+ (2 × ECP maximum retransmission time + 1) × 2
ECP
retransmission
] × 10
—
5
.
The value assigned to the VDP keepalive exponent, the ECP maximum retransmission time, and the ECP
retransmission exponent are the larger of the values proposed for each by the station and bridge through
EVB TLV.
