automatically increase the hash table size provided two
conditions are met.
Auto-Increment HT size.
The first condition is the Trigger (Multiplier), which sets a minimum
threshold for the number of learned entries a VLAN must have
before the switch will consider increasing the Hash Table size. This
prevents the Avaya Multiservice Switch from resizing Hash Tables
for VLANs who have only a few AFT entries. This threshold is 12
times the Hash Table size.
For Example: If a VLAN is created with an Initial Hash Table Size of
64, the trigger would be 12 times 64 = 768 learned entries. If there
are more than 768 learned entries, the second condition is
evaluated.
The second condition is met if Bucket Utilization drops below the
Threshold (Util%), which by default is 40%. The switch will
compensate for the poor utilization by doubling the Hash Table.
40% is recommended for most applications.
