For example '.B "foo " bar' and not '.B foo " bar"'
"-h" , " --help" Show help about last valid command. For example tipc link --help will show link help and tipc --help will show general help. The position of the option in the string is irrelevant.
"ACTIVE " "link state"
An ACTIVE link is serving traffic. Two links to the same node can become ACTIVE if they have the same link priority . If there is more than two links with the same priority the additional links will be put in STANDBY state.
"STANDBY " "link state"
A STANDBY link has lower link priority than an ACTIVE link. A STANDBY link has control traffic flowing and is ready to take over should the ACTIVE link(s) go down.
MTU
The Maximum Transmission Unit. The two endpoints advertise their default or configured MTU at initial link setup and will agree to use the lower of the two values should they differ.
Packets
The total amount of transmitted or received TIPC packets on a link. Including "fragmented " "and " "bundled " packets.
Fragments
Represented in the form fragments / fragmented . Where fragmented is the amount of data messages which have been broken into fragments . Subsequently the fragments are the total amount of packets that the fragmented messages has been broken into.
Bundles
Represented in the form bundles / bundled . If a link becomes congested the link will attempt to bundle data from small bundled packets into bundles of full MTU size packets before they are transmitted.
Profile
Shows the average packet size in octets/bytes for a sample of packets. It also shows the packet size distribution of the sampled packets in the intervals 0-64 bytes
64-256 bytes
256-1024 bytes
1024-4096 bytes
4096-16384 bytes
16384-32768 bytes
32768-66000 bytes
Message counters states - Number of link state messages probes - Link state messages with probe flag set. Typically sent when a link is idle nacks - Number of negative acknowledgement (NACK) packets sent and received by the link defs - Number of packets received out of order dups - Number of duplicate packets received
Congestion link The number of times an application has tried to send data when the TIPC link was congested
Send queue Max is the maximum amount of messages that has resided in the out queue during the statistics collection period of a link. Avg is the average outqueue size during the lifetime of a link.
priority
The priority between logical TIPC links to a particular node. Link priority can range from 0 (lowest) to 31 (highest).
tolerance
Link tolerance specifies the maximum time in milliseconds that TIPC will allow a communication problem to exist before taking the link down. The default value is 1500 milliseconds.
window
The link window controls how many unacknowledged messages a link endpoint can have in its transmit queue before TIPC's congestion control mechanism is activated.
