hold-interval Set the next interval to send the same LSA. This is the time between 
sending the same LSA after the start-interval has been attempted. 
The range is 1 to 600,000 milliseconds.
max-interval Set the maximum amount of time the system waits before sending the 
LSA. The range is 1 to 600,000 milliseconds.
Defaults
• start-interval : 0 msec
• hold-interval : 5000 msec
• max-interval : 5000 msec

Version 8.3.8.0 Introduced on the S4810.
Usage 
Information
LSAs are sent after the start-interval and then after hold-interval until the maximum interval is 
reached. In throttling, exponential backoff is used when sending same LSA, so that the interval 
is multiplied until the maximum time is reached. For example, if the 
start-interval 5000
 and 
hold-
interval 1000
 and 
max-interval 100,000
, the LSA is sent at 5000 msec, then 1000 msec, then 2000 
msec, them 4000 until 100,000 msec is reached.
timers throttle lsa arrival
Configure the LSA acceptance intervals.
Z-Series, S4810
Syntax
timers throttle lsa arrival arrival-time
To return to the default, use the no timers throttle lsa command.
Parameters
arrival-time
Set the interval between receiving the same LSA repeatedly, to allow 
sufficient time for the system to accept the LSA. The range is 0 to 
600,000 milliseconds.
Defaults 1000 msec
