Protocol), whose error and control function is used to send re-direction options back
to the source if problems are discovered.

is the frequency with which updates of the entire routing table will be sent to every
neighbor node, via one or more RIP messages.
prioritizes this interface for intra-nodal traffic; the higher the number, the higher the
priority. (This priority has no effect on traffic exiting a node.)
A priority is also configured in Node Defaults, as well as for each logical port, SNA
PU, LLC2 host, Bridge Port/LLC2 Interface, IPX interface, SVC Subscriber, and PVC
connection. The device processor in the node uses these priorities to help determine
the order in which it will process protocols.
When configuring priorities, be careful to consider the types of
traffic being routed on other connections in the node.

usage. See "Configuring Bandwidth Allocation Groups" on page 6-6.
