RE: [RPRWG] Wait To Restore
Manav,
There is nothing in the standard that requires or prevents this. This is
something a station could easily do, using the existing standard. The
standard provides the basic enabling technology which can then be built upon
by each implementer to provide many different implementations, each with
their own unique values.

Subject: [RPRWG] Wait To Restore
Hi,
Is there any proposal to damp a flapping link if it flaps beyond some
threshold value? I am looking for exponential decay wherein if it remains
stable till some time length then it will again be considered fit for use.
IMHO we must penalize a link more if it flaps severely or more often than a
link which flaps lesser number of times and less
vigorously. Using the WTR we don't differentiate between the two cases
since both of them are advertised if they remain stable for some time
period which is specified in the WTR.
What do others feel about this?
Regards,
Manav
