Timers

The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller has three guard timers that ensure a TCP media flow does not remain connected longer than configured. You can set each of these from 0 (disabled) to 999999999 in seconds.

• TCP initial guard timer — Sets the maximum time in seconds allowed to elapse between the initial SYN packet and the next packet in this flow.
• TCP subsequent guard timer — Sets the maximum time in seconds allowed to elapse between all subsequent sequential TCP packets.
• TCP flow time limit — Sets the maximum time that a single TCP flow can last. This does not refer to the entire call.
