timers throttle lsa all
Configure LSA transmit intervals.
Syntax
timers throttle lsa all {start-interval | hold-interval | max-interval}
To return to the default, use the no timers throttle lsa command.
Parameters
start-interval Set the minimum interval between initial sending and resending the same LSA. The range 
is from 0 to 600,000 milliseconds.
hold-interval Set the next interval to send the same LSA. This interval is the time between sending the 
same LSA after the start-interval has been attempted. The range is from 1 to 600,000 
milliseconds.
max-interval Set the maximum amount of time the system waits before sending the LSA. The range is 
from 1 to 600,000 milliseconds.
Defaults
• start-interval: 0 msec
• hold-interval: 5000 msec
• max-interval: 5000 msec

Usage Information LSAs are sent after the start-interval and then after hold-interval until the maximum interval is reached. In 
throttling, exponential backoff is used when sending same LSA, so that the interval is multiplied until the maximum 
time is reached. For example, if the start-interval 5000 and hold-interval 1000 and max-interval 100,000, the LSA 
is sent at 5000 msec, then 1000 msec, then 2000 msec, them 4000 until 100,000 msec is reached.
