Appendix A Timer Values A.1 MTP Level 2 Timer Values The following timer values are taken from ITU-T Q.703, Sect. 12.3: Timers. T1 (64 kbit/s) = 40–50 s Timer “aligned ready” T1 (4.8 kbit/s) = 500–600 s Timer “aligned ready” T2 = 5–150 s Timer “not aligned” T3 = 1–2 s Timer “aligned” T4n (64 kbit/s) = 7.5–9.5 s Normal proving period timer T4n (4.8 kbit/s) = 100–120 s Normal proving period timer T4e (64 kbit/s) = 400–600 ms Emergency proving period timer T4e (4.8 kbit/s) = 6–8 s Emergency proving period timer T5 = 80–120 ms Timer “sendig SIB” T6 (64 kbit/s) = 3–6 s Timer “remote congestion” T6 (4.8 kbit/s) = 8–12 s Timer “remote congestion” T7 (64 kbit/s) = 0.5–2 s Timer “excessive delay of acknowledgement” T7 (4.8 kbit/s) = 4–6 s Timer “excessive delay of acknowledgement” A.2 MTP Level 3 Timer Values The following timer values are taken from ITU-T Q.704, Sect. 16.8: Timers and timer values. T1 = 500–1200 ms Delay to avoid missequencing on changeover T2 = 700–2000 ms Waiting for changeover acknowledgement T3 = 500–1200 ms Time-controlled diversion delay to avoid missequencing on changeback T4 = 500–1200 ms Waiting for changeback acknowledgement (first attempt) T5 = 500–1200 ms Waiting for changeback acknowledgement (second attempt) 260 Appendix A Timer Values T6 = 500–1200 ms Delay to avoid message missequencing on controlled rerouting T7 = 1–2 s Waiting for signalling data link connection acknowledgement T8 = 800–1200 ms Transfer prohibited inhibition timer (transient solution) T9 Not used T10 = 30–60 s Waiting to repeat signalling route set test message1 T11 = 30–90 s Transfer restricted timer T12 = 800–1500 ms Waiting for uninhibit acknowledgement T13 = 800–1500 ms Waiting for force uninhibit T14 = 2–3 s Waiting for inhibition acknowledgement T15 = 2–3 s Waiting to start signalling route set congestion test T16 = 1.4–2 s Waiting for route set congestion status update T17 = 800–1500 ms Delay to avoid oscillation of initial alignment failure and link restart T18 Timer within a signalling point whose MTP restarts, for supervising link and linkset activation as well as the receipt of routing information. The value is implementation and network dependent T19 = 67–69 s Supervision timer during MTP restart to avoid possible poin-pong of TFP, TFR, and TRA messages T20 = 59–61 s Overall MTP restart timer at the signalling point whose MTP restarts T21 = 63–65 s Overall MTP restart timer at a signalling point adjacent to one whose MTP restarts T22 = 3–6 min Local inhibit test timer (provisional value) T23 = 3–6 min Remote inhibit test timer (provisional value) T24 = 500 ms Stabilizing timer after removal of local processor outage, used in LPO latching to RPO (national option) Note: The values of the MTP restart timers (T18–T21) defined above are for use during normal operation. It might be advantageous for the network operator to de- fine an alternative value for each timer, for use in potential network failures. Such an emergency might be recognized by an abnormally large number of outages, and it would be at the descretion of the operator to use the emergency set of timer values within the network. Thus, the selection of the appropriate timer set is the responsi- bility of the network operator. 1 The maximum value may be extended at the discretion of the management function in certain situations, e.g., many signalling points being unavailable or signalling points of known long-term unavailability. A.5 SUA Timer Values 261 A.3 SCTP Timers and Protocol Parameter Values SCTP Timers: T1-init Association initialization timer T1-cookie Cookie timer T2-shutdown Association shutdown timer T3-rtx Retransmission timer For the rules to determine the proper timer values we refer to RFC 2960, Stream Control Transmission Protocol, Sect. 6.3: Management of Retransmission Timer. Recommended protocol parameters: RTO.Initial = 3 s RTO.Min = 1 s RTO.Max = 60 s RTO.Alpha = 1/8 RTO.Beta = 1/4 Valid.Cookie.Life = 60 s Association.Max.Retrans = 10 attempts Path.Max.Retrans = 5 attempts (per destination address) Max.Init.Retransmits = 8 attempts HB.interval = 30 s These values are taken from RFC 2960, Stream Control Transmission Protocol, Sect. 14: Suggested SCTP Protocol Parameter Values. A.4 M2UA and M3UA Timer Values The following default values are recommended: T(r) = 2 s Recovery timer “AS pending” T(ack) = 2 s Acknowledgement timer T(beat) = 30 s Heartbeat timer These values are taken from RFC 3331, Signalling System 7 (SS7) Message Transfer Part 2 (MTP2) - User Adaptation Layer, Sect. 6: Timer Values. A.5 SUA Timer Values The following timer values are taken from RFC 3868, Signalling Connection Control Part User Adaptation Layer (SUA), Sect. 8: Timer Values. T(r) = 2 s Recovery timer “AS pending” T(ack) = 2 s Acknowledgement timer T(beat) = 30 s Heartbeat timer T(ias) = 7 min Inactivity send timer T(iar) = 15 min Inactivity receive timer Appendix B
