Configuring IPv6 TCP Properties 
The IPv6 TCP properties you can configure include: 
z  synwait timer: When a SYN packet is sent, the synwait timer is triggered. If no response packet is 
received before the synwait timer expires, the IPv6 TCP connection establishment fails. 
z  finwait timer: When the IPv6 TCP connection status is FIN_WAIT_2, the finwait timer is triggered. If 
no packet is received before the finwait timer expires, the IPv6 TCP connection is terminated. If FIN 
packets are received, the IPv6 TCP connection status becomes TIME_WAIT. If other packets are 
received, the finwait timer is reset from the last packet and the connection is terminated after the 
finwait timer expires. 
z  Size of IPv6 TCP receiving/sending buffer.

Configuring the Maximum Number of IPv6 ICMP Error Packets Sent within a 
Specified Time 
If too many IPv6 ICMP error packets are sent within a short time in a network, network congestion may 
occur. To avoid network congestion, you can control the maximum number of IPv6 ICMP error packets 
sent within a specified time. Currently, the token bucket algorithm is adopted. 
You can set the capacity of a token bucket, namely, the number of tokens in the bucket. In addition, you 
can set the update period of the token bucket, namely, the interval for updating the number of tokens in 
the token bucket to the configured capacity. One token allows one IPv6 ICMP error packet to be sent. 
Each time an IPv6 ICMP error packet is sent, the number of tokens in a token bucket decreases by 1. If 
the number of the IPv6 ICMP error packets that are continuously sent out reaches the capacity of the 
token bucket, the subsequent IPv6 ICMP error packets cannot be sent out until new tokens are put into 
the token bucket based on the specified update frequency. 
Follow these steps to configure the maximum number of IPv6 ICMP error packets sent within a 
specified time:
