NOTE
There is no aging algorithm for the associated RB. An RB is only removed from the Association
Database under the following conditions:
 The RB failed to respond to 100 consecutive data frames transmitted by the BU and is
considered to have "aged out".

During the last 6 minutes (or more) the RB did not transmit any data frame, and failed to
respond to certain frames that typically are transmitted by the BU every 10 seconds. Since the
sampling interval for this state is about 10 minutes, it means that the decision to remove the RB
from the Associations Database will take place between 6 to 16 minutes from the time the RB
ceased sending data or responding to these "keep-alive" messages.
