Parameter Description
loop-detect Enables loop detection when used with loop-protection
keywords. Disables loop detection when used with no loop-
protection keywords.
ldf-interval The time (in seconds) between successive loop-detect frames
being sent.
<period> Specify a period between 1 and 600 seconds. The default is 10
seconds.
ldf-rx-window The number of transmitted loop detection frames whose
details are held for comparing with frames arriving at the same

<frames> Specify a value for the window size between 1 and 5 frames.
The default is 3 frames.
[fast-block] The fast-block blocks transmitting port to keep partial
