CISCO Express Forwarding Notification Throttling Interval

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.492.1.9.4

This object controls the generation of the cefInconsistencyDetection notification. If this object has a value of zero, then the throttle control is disabled. If this object has a non-zero value, then the agent must not generate more than one cefInconsistencyDetection 'notification-event' in the indicated period, where a 'notification-event' is the transmission of a single trap or inform PDU to a list of notification destinations. If additional inconsistency is detected within the throttling period, then notification-events for these inconsistencies should be suppressed by the agent until the current throttling period expires. At the end of a throttling period, one notification-event should be generated if any inconsistency was detected since the start of the throttling period. In such a case, another throttling period is started right away. An NMS should periodically poll cefInconsistencyRecordTable to detect any missed cefInconsistencyDetection notification-events, e.g., due to throttling or transmission loss. If cefNotifThrottlingInterval notification generation is enabled, the suggested default throttling period is 60 seconds, but generation of the cefInconsistencyDetection notification should be disabled by default. If the agent is capable of storing non-volatile configuration, then the value of this object must be restored after a re-initialization of the management system. The actual transmission of notifications is controlled via the MIB modules in RFC 3413.
