MINTXQUAL

Command

MINTXQUAL -- Display / Set minimum quality to transmit

Synopsis

MINT[xqual] <port> [0-255]

Description

The MINTXQUAL command is used to display and set the minimum Net/rom node quality to transmit on the specified port.

This would typically be used to limit the size of nodes broadcasts on ports which are severely bandwidth limited, or when the neighbour nodes have limited table capacity.

The neighbours could of course limit their table size using their MINQUAL, but there is no point in transmitting information which will be discarded.

If the setting is changed, the new setting remains in force until it is changed again, or until the router is restarted, in which case it returns to the default value specified in the port entry in the CFG file.

Options

If the second argument is omitted, the current value is displayed.

Examples

MINT 2      - Display current setting for port 2
MINT 2 30   - Include only the nodes with quality >= 30

Files

The MINTXQUAL value for a port is usually specified in the PORT configuration block within XROUTER.CFG. If not specified, it defaults to 0, i.e. no minimum.

Availability

Sysop-only.
