Connection Configuration Sets

Connection Configuration Sets provide a mechanism for adjusting a connection to account for the network quality of service and Peer Node requirements. Each connection references a single Connection Configuration Set.

A Connection Configuration Set can be created with specific SCTP, Diameter, and TCP options and then assigned to a connection.

A default Connection Configuration Set, called Default, has options that can be modified, but the Default Connection Configuration Set cannot be deleted. When a new Connection Configuration Set is created, the values of the Default Connection Configuration Set are automatically populated into the new Connection Configuration Set. Only a few options need to be adjusted to create the new Connection Configuration Set.

Connection Configuration Set parameters are divided into three categories: SCTP, Diameter, and TCP.

SCTP parameters include:

• Send and receive buffer sizes
• Initial, minimum and maximum retransmit timeout times
• The number of retransmits triggering association failure
• The number of retransmits triggering init failure
• SACK delay time
• The heartbeat interval
• The maximum number of inbound and outbound streams
• Whether datagram bundling is on or off
