This list shows the three best routes K-Net will attempt to use (in descending order) to
connect to the YORK node. The first number is the route quality, the second number is
the obsolescence count, and the third number is the assigned port.
NODESINT n
Default 60
This command sets the time interval (in minutes) between nodes broadcasts (not node
IDs). A new setting will be in effect after the previous interval has expired. This interval
should be set to an agreed-upon value for all nodes in the area. This broadcast provides
your neighbor nodes with update information, which they use to add, modify, and delete
nodes automatically from their nodes and routes tables. Each time your node performs
a nodes broadcast, the obsolescence counter for all destination nodes in your nodes
table is decremented by one.
OBSINIT n
Default 5
The OBSINIT command sets the initial obsolescence count for a destination node.
When a nodes broadcast is heard from a neighbor, or when a link is established with a
destination node, the obsolescence count is set to OBSINIT for that destination node.
Each time your node transmits a nodes broadcast, the obsolescence for each
destination node is decremented by one. When the obsolescence value drops below
OBSMIN for any destination node, that destination node will not be contained in your
nodes broadcast. However, it will remain in your nodes table until the obsolescence
count reaches zero, at which time it will be removed unless that node had been added
(ADDNODE) with an initial obsolescence count of zero.
OBSMIN n
Default 4
This command sets the minimum obsolescence count, which will allow a destination
node to be included in your nodes broadcast. The default values of OBSINIT 5 and
OBSMIN 4 allow your node 2 chances to receive a "refreshing" nodes broadcast or a
connect from a destination node before that destination node is dropped from your
nodes broadcast. When the obsolescence count for a node reaches 0, that node is
dropped from the nodes table unless it had been added or modified (ADDNODE)
previously with an initial obsolescence count of zero.
