1  –  ADDRESS

 Defines   the   largest   node  address and, consequently, the
 greatest number of nodes that can be addressed by the local node.
 Use as small a number as possible. If you receive an "INVALID
 VALUE" error, you probably have not allocated enough nonpaged
 pool space.  You must lower the MAXIMUM ADDRESS value or increase
 the VMS NPAGEDYN value.  See Chapter 5 of the Guide to Networking
 for some guidelines on NPAGEDYN.

2  –  AREA

 Applies only to an executor node whose type is AREA.  Specifies
 the largest area number and, therefore, the greatest number of
 areas that can be known about by the executor node's Routing layer.
 You can specify a decimal value in the range 1 to 63.  The default
 is 63.

3  –  BROADCAST

3.1  –  NONROUTERS

 Specifies the maximum total number of nonrouting nodes (end nodes)
 the executor node can have on its broadcast circuits.  Use a number
 in the range of 0 to 1023.  The default is 64.

3.2  –  ROUTERS

 Specifies the maximum total number of routing nodes the executor
 node can have on its broadcast circuits.  Use a number in the range
 of 0 to 65,535.  The default is 32.

4  –  BUFFERS

 Specifies   the   total   number   of  buffers in the transmit
 buffer pool.  The value must be larger than that for the MAXIMUM
 CIRCUITS parameter.  Use a value that is 15 times the square root
 of the number of lines.  Increase this value if you experience
 congestion loss.

5  –  CIRCUITS

 Defines  the  maximum  number  of  transport circuits that the
 local node can use.  Number must be in the range 1 to 32. If you
 receive an "INVALID VALUE" error, you probably have not allocated
 enough Non Paged Pool space.  You must lower the MAXIMUM CIRCUITS
 value or increase the VMS NPAGEDYN value.  See Chapter 5 of the
 Guide to Networking for some guidelines on NPAGEDYN.

6  –  COST

 Specifies the maximum total path cost allowed from the local node
 to any node.  The path cost is the sum of the line costs along a
 path between two nodes.  Use as small a number as possible in the
 range of 1 to 1023.

7  –  DECLARED OBJECTS

 Specifies the maximum number of objects that processes may
 declare.  Use a number in the range of 8 to 16383.  The default
 is 31.

8  –  HOPS

 Specifies the maximum routing hops from the local node to any
 other reachable node. A hop is the logical distance over a line
 between two adjacent nodes.  Use as small a number as possible in
 the range of 1 to 31, and be sure that this value is less than or
 equal to the MAXIMUM VISITS parameter. If you receive an "INVALID
 VALUE" error, you probably have not allocated enough Non Paged
 Pool space.  You must lower the MAXIMUM HOPS value or increase
 the VMS NPAGEDYN value.  Refer to Chapter 5 of the Guide to
 Networking on for some guidelines on NPAGEDYN.

9  –  LINKS

 Specifies the maximum logical link count for the local node.  A
 reasonable range for most networks is 25 to 50.

10  –  PATH SPLITS

 Indicates the maximum number of equal cost paths for a given
 destination node among which the packet load may be split.  The
 default is 4.

11  –  VISITS

 Specifies the maximum number of nodes a message can visit prior
 to being received by the destination node.  Use a number in the
 range of 1 to 255.  The value must be greater than or equal to
 the value for the MAXIMUM HOPS parameter.  It is suggested that
 you specify a number that is twice the MAXIMUM HOPS value.
