SPEED n
SPEED n
Default: 0
Units: bits per second (bps)
Range: 0 or 1200 through 224000
This modifier provides a way of creating the time factor, and has a maximum value of
224,000. It
s use is no longer recommended.
Starting with G06.20, you can use the new p
arameters, LINETF n and PATHTF n, to
set time factors for lines that will override all other parameters in calculating time
factors. PATHTF overrides RSIZE, SPEED, SPEEDK, or LINETF, whereas LINETF
overrides RSIZE, SPEED, and SPEEDK (but not PATHTF). Either RSIZE, SPEED,
SPEEDK, LINETF, or PATHTF must be set, else the line handler will display a
configuration error.
The formula to convert from SPEED to LINETF is:
LINETF = (224000 + (SPEED / 2)) / SPEED
For more information on establishing time factors, see Setting Time Factors on
page 17-23.
SPEEDK n
Default: none. (The value NOT_SET is displayed)
Units: Kbps as integers, integers with K or M suffixes, or symbolic names
Range: 1 through 4,000,000,000 and symbolic values shown in table below
Either RSIZE, SPEED, SPEEDK, LINETF, or PATHTF must be set, else the line
handler will display a configuration error.
You can specify SPEEDK values in Kbps or use symbolic names for line types that
have fixed speeds. The available names are listed in Table 16-2 on page 16-24.
Here are the rules for converting SPEEDK to a time factor:
if SPEEDK >= 21000 then the time factor = 1
For SPEEDK values less than 21000 the time factor will be based on the formula:
TF = Round( (4000000000 / SpeedK ) / 190000)
where the remainder is rounded up if it is .7 or larger
.
This calculation will give a time factor of 1 for all lines which have a SPEEDK of 21000
or faster. If old profiles are used, a ServerNet line and an ATM line would all have the
same time factor of 1. This calculation will also limit the maximum time factor to 186.
Starting with G06.20, you can use the new p
arameters, LINETF n and PATHTF n, to
set time factors for lines that will override all other p
arameters in calculating time
factors. PATHTF overrides RSIZE, SPEED, SPEEDK, or LINETF, whereas LINETF
overrides RSIZE, SPEED, and SPEEDK (but not PATHTF). For more information on
establishing time factors, see
Setting Time Factors on page 17-23.
