| Description | This value represents the maximum number of nodes a
message coming into the executor node can have visited.
If the message is not for this node and the MAXIMUM
VISITS number is exceeded, the message is discarded.
The MAXIMUM VISITS parameter defines the point where
the packet lifetime control algorithm discards
a packet that has traversed too many nodes. For correct
operation, this parameter must not be less than the
maximum path length of the network. (The maximum path
length is the routing distance between the two nodes of
the network having the greatest routing distance, where
routing distance is the length of the least costly
path between a given pair of nodes.) |
