appn Loc Tg Connect Cost

The cost-per-connect time is a characteristic represented by a single-byte value in the range 0 to 255 that expresses a relative cost of using a transmission group. The units for cost-per-connect time are installation-defined and are typically based on the applicable tariffs of the transmission facility being used by the transmission group. The cost-per-connect time values that a network administrator assigns to the transmission groups in a network should reflect the relative expense of each transmission group as compared to all other transmission groups in the network. A value of 0 means that the cost of connecting over the transmission group is at no additional cost (as in the case of a non-switched facility.
