Specifies the policy for equal cost load splitting of network traffic.
There are two values for PATH SPLIT POLICY
INTERIM: Specifies that all traffic will be split
over all equal cost paths while forcing
individual network sessions over the same
paths in order to guarantee that packets
will be received by the destination node
in the correct order. The INTERIM value
should be set if some of the nodes in the
network do not support out-of-order packet
caching. (VMS version 4.5 and earlier VMS
releases do not support out-of-order
caching).
NORMAL: Specifies that all traffic will be split
equally over all equal cost paths to a
destination node. All nodes must support
out-of-order packet caching
(VMS Version 4.6 or later), otherwise,
network performance may suffer. This is
the default value for PATH SPLIT POLICY.
