It is. I've written down some info during my own studies. Maybe this will
help more. Here...

Timers/Defaults
Linger - inactive , default if turned on 5 mins
Keepalives - optional, (30???)
Dynamic - inactive, if turned on dynamic connections disconnect after 5 mins
Inactivity- How long before disconnecting a peer after no activity on ANY of
it's circuits
                (default - 5 minutes)

No-llc - 5mins
Timeout - resend time limit for TCP(ack's). Default-90 seconds (normal
peers)

"llc2 idle-time <value>" RR messages act as hellos for the LLC2 connection
"dlsw bridge-group idle-time" Frequency of polls during periods of idle
traffic

POD Defaults
Inactivity = 10 mins
Keeaplive = 30 seconds
Cost = 3

"dlsw timer _____" where ____ is about 20 timers
SNA/Netbios-verify-interval - how long info is fresh (queries every 4
minutes)
Sna-cache-timeout - how long that cache entries are maintained before
deleted. (16 mins)
SNA/netbios-retry-interval - delay for retransmit of a response to a name
query/CUR
 Explorer-delay-time - delay for router to send & respond to explorers (def
0)
Icannotreach-block-time - marks a route unreachable for X seconds (default
0)
Netbios-cache-timeout - 16 minute Reachability cache
SNA/netbios-explorer-timeout - wait response before marking a resource
unreachable
Sna/netbios-group-cache - time netbios entries stay in group cache (border
peers) (4 min)
Explorer-wait-time - number of seconds that DLSW will wait before picking
best path
Init_pacing_window <size> & <max_pacing_window <size> - flow-control
algorithm

Tim,
That is direct form the doc cd. I was looking for
more of a tutorial of the timers. I'm DLSw dumb...
Thanks
