vncsVpPathFailureAction
vncs Vp Path Failure Action
1.3.6.1.4.1.562.2.4.1.44.3.2.1.15
This attribute specifies whether the application can tolerate momentary interruption of a path while a new path is selected. If disconnectConnection is chosen, the application is informed as soon as possible about a failure by disconnection. If the attribute is set to reRoutePath, the path may attempt an immediate reroute, provided the failure is a recoverable failure. If rerouting fails, the application is informed of the failure. With this option set to reRoutePath, the LCo may wait up to 30 seconds before informing the service of complete disconnection in order to allow both ends to attempt to reconnect. Note that if PLC components are different at both ends only the calling end is allowed to reconnect. All pathTypes respect this attribute. Also on a manualPath with both ends provisioned with independent paths (at least with respect to the failure) this option will have the desired effect that the path is rerouted without complete disconnection at both ends.
