1  –  Characteristics

 o   acknowledgment delay time

     Default: 3                               Value for OpenVMS: 0-65
     Default: 3                               Value for Tru64 UNIX: 3

     Maximum amount of time (in seconds) that an acknowledgment is to
     be withheld. You cannot modify this characteristic.

 o   congestion avoidance

     Default: True                            Value: True or false

     Enables the use of the automatic congestion avoidance mechanism.
     This mechanism reduces the transport window size in response to an
     indication from the Network layer.

 o   delay factor

     Default: 2                               Value: 2-15

     Factor by which to multiply the current value of the round-trip
     delay estimate status attribute in order to set a value for the
     retransmission timer.

     Note, the roundtrip delay estimate is an attribute of the nsp
     port entity.

 o   delay weight

     Default: 3                               Value: 0-255

     Relative weighting to apply to the current estimate and to a new
     sample when estimating round-trip delay.

 o   dna version

     Default: current version number

     Version number of the DNA NSP architecture specification to
     which the implementation conforms. You cannot modify this
     characteristic.

 o   flow control policy

     Default:  Segment flow control      Value:  Segment flow control
                                                 no flow control

     Determines NSP flow control policy used. This attribute may not be
     changed when NSP state is "on."

     Flow control is the mechanism that determines when to send a Data
     or expedited messages. Flow control is performed separately for normal
     and expedited data. During transport connection formation, each end of
     the connection determines the kind of flow control policy it expects
     when acting as a data receiver. It is not required that both end
     operate with the same flow control policy.

 o   keepalive time

     Default for Tru64 UNIX: 30               Value: 1-65535
     Default for OpenVMS: 60                  Value: 1-65535

     Time (in seconds) that NSP waits for data to be transmitted or
     received before testing a transport connection. When this timer
     expires, NSP sends a data request PDU to the remote NSP. This
     PDU does not change the flow control parameters, but does require
     acknowledgment. For Tru64 UNIX, you can modify this characteristic
     to a lower value only when the entity is disabled.

 o   maximum receive buffers (OpenVMS)

     Default: 2000                            Value: 1-65535

     Maximum number of receive buffers that can store received transport
     PDUs. You may not decrease the value while NSP is enabled.

 o   maximum remote nsaps

     Default for Tru64 UNIX: 160              Value: 1-65535
     Default for OpenVMS: 200                 Value: 1-65535

     Maximum number of remote NSAPs that can exist concurrently. Must
     be greater than the current value of maximum transport connections.
     You can modify this characteristic to a lower value only when the
     entity is disabled. For Tru64 UNIX, this characteristic can be
     increased when enabled.

 o   maximum transport connections

     Default for Tru64 UNIX: 128              Value: 0-1023
     Default for OpenVMS: 200                 Value: 0-65535

     Maximum number of active transport connections allowed at one
     time. Must not be less than the current value of maximum remote
     NSAPs. You may not decrease the value while NSP is enabled.

 o   maximum window

     Default for Tru64 UNIX: 32               Value: 1-65535
     Default for OpenVMS: 8                   Value: 1-2047

     Maximum credit window that can be granted on a transport connection.
     This is used for control of the number of data segments (PDUs)
     allowed to be transmitted over a particular transport connection
     before at least one acknowledgment must be returned from the
     destination system. If the number of PDUs already transmitted equals
     the maximum window and no corresponding acknowledgments have been
     received, transport stops sending PDUs over the transport connection
     and waits for an acknowledgment message. You cannot modify this
     characteristic.

 o   nsap selector

     Default: 32                              Value: 0-255

     NSAP selector used by the nsp entity when opening a port to a
     network service. You cannot modify this characteristic.

 o   retransmit threshold

     Default for Tru64 UNIX: 12               Value: 1-65535
     Default for OpenVMS: 5                   Value: 1-65535

     Maximum number of times a source nsp entity is to restart an
     expired retransmission timer before the remote node is to be
     considered unreachable. When the threshold is reached, NSP
     sets the confidence variable to false.
