Description
Identifier of a logical node on the switch.
Leadership priority value of the logical node. The switch advertises this value to the
peer group of that logical node.
Index of parent node of logical node. This applies only if the logical node has a parent
at a higher level in the PNNI hierarchy.
Time in seconds the switch delays advertising its choice of preferred Peer Group
Leader (PGL). The timer begins after the switch has initialized operation and reached
the Full state with at least one neighbor in the peer group.
Time in seconds the switch waits for itself to be declared the preferred PGL by
unanimous agreement among its peers. In the absence of unanimous agreement, this is
the time that passes before the switch considers a two thirds majority as sufficient
agreement to declare itself PGL, abandoning the attempt to get unanimous agreement.
Time in seconds after losing connectivity to the current PGL that the switch waits
before re-starting the process of electing a new PGL.
Time at which the current PGL established itself.
Indicates the state that the switch is in with respect to the PGL election that takes place
in the peer group. Possible values are: Starting, Awaiting, Awaiting Full, Initial Delay,
Calculating, Await Unanimity, Operating as PGL, Operating not as PGL, Hung
Election, and Waiting Reelection.
Indicates the preferred PGL of the peer group.
Identifier of the node that is currently PGL. If a PGL has not been elected, this
parameter is set to (all) zero(s).
Node identifier used by the PGL to represent this peer group at the next level of the
hierarchy. If this node is at the highest level of the hierarchy or if no PGL has been
elected yet, the PNNI Protocol Entity sets the value of this parameter to NULL.
