Internal Stack Functions
Lifetime of Route in RtAdv
_ipcfg.RtcAdvLife
Default Value
120
Description
If sending router advertisements (see above), this is the route lifetime that will
be sent in the ICMP message.
Preference Level of Route in RtAdv
_ipcfg.RtcAdvPref
Default Value
0
Description
If sending router advertisements (see above), this is the route preference level
that will be sent in the ICMP message. This value is signed.
Time in Seconds a Route is “Down” due to Failed ARP
_ipcfg.RtDownTime
Default Value
20
Description
In order to stop an application from sending endless packets to a route that is
not responding to ARP, the route is brought “down” for a period of time so that
the application will receive an error when IP attempts to send. After the desig-
nated time, the route is brought back up and will attempt more ARP requests
if used again.
Time in Seconds a Validated Route is Held
_ipcfg.RtKeepAliveTime
Default Value
1200
Description
Routes should not be held indefinitely. Use of a route is also not sufficient to
keep the route alive. This value represents the time an ARP validated route
is held before it expires. If the route is revalidated via ARP during this period,
the period is extended for this interval from that point in time.
Default Timeout in Seconds of a Cloned Route
_
ipcfg.RtCloneTimeout
Default Value
120
Description
When a host route is first cloned from a network route, it is assigned this default
timeout. Once the route is validated via ARP, the timeout is extended (see
above).
