L4WINDOW n
Default 4
The L4WINDOW sets the maximum number of outstanding frames that may exist in the
network for a given circuit. When the node has L4WINDOW unacknowledged frames, it
will not transmit any more frames until a level 4 info-ack is received. Network nodes
may allow up to 127 outstanding frames across the system. The L4WINDOW size is
negotiated between nodes when a crosslink is requested, therefore the L4WINDOW
size should be standardized network-wide.
MHEARD [S | L]
This command displays a list of stations recently heard by the node. A time stamp is
also shown (unless the Short option is specified). If Long is specified, the node displays
the to and from callsigns of the stations heard, as well as any digipeaters used.
MINQUAL n
Default 70
This command sets the minimum quality required to add a destination node to the
nodes table. Making this value higher will decrease the size of the nodes table, making
this value lower will increase the number of destination nodes listed. When K-Net hears
neighbor node (A) transmit a node broadcast, it computes the quality to distant nodes
(B, C, D, etc.) contained in that broadcast by using the quality that is assigned to
neighbor node (A). If the resultant computation is less than MINQUAL, the distant nodes
(B, C, D, etc.) are not added to the nodes table (see QUALITY command). The default
settings of QUALITY = 255/70 and MINQUAL = 70 means that all nodes that are heard
"direct" (neighbors) will be added to the nodes table. If MINQUAL is greater than
QUALITY, a new neighbor node will not be automatically added to the nodes table, nor
will it be displayed with the ROUTES command.
NODES [* | alias I call]
This command displays a list of all known destination nodes. The list displays the
ALIAS:CALLSIGN for each destination node. If the optional * is given, hidden nodes
(those beginning with #) are also shown. Specifying an alias or call with the NODES
command will display up to three possible routes (neighbor nodes) of descending
quality that will be used to establish a link to the specified destination.
