LAPF Timeout and Retransmission Timers
Table 2-2 lists the timers and retransmission limits defined in the LAPF protocol
for timeouts and retransmissions.
Timer T200
Timer T200 detects transmission timeouts. When a timeout occurs, the peer enters
the timer recovery state and retransmits the frame, up to a maximum of N200
times. If this limit is reached, the system performs the following operations:
• Terminates multiple frame operation
• Discards all outstanding information frames
• Transitions the peer to the TEI-assigned state
• Initiates multiple frame setup
If the remote peer receives a frame that contains an error, it sends an REJ message
to specify which frame was in error. In response, the local peer retransmits
information frames, beginning with the bad frame.
If the remote peer encounters an error which retransmission cannot remedy, it
sends an FRMR response to the local peer and transitions to the TEI-assigned
state. The local peer discards all outstanding information frames, transitions to the
TEI-assigned state, and initiates multiple frame setup.
Table 2-2. LAPF Timeout and Retransmission Timers
Site Manager Parameter Description
T200 This general purpose retransmission timeout is
used during initiation of LAPF multiple frame
support and for timeout of numbered information
frames.
T203 This timeout detects excessive idle time on the
line and initiates a frame handshake to check if
the connection is still up.
N200 This maximum retransmission count, when
reached, causes the software to take action. The
action take by the router software depends on the
type of message timed out and the state of the
service.
