PROPAGATION_DELAY

Required?	No
Keyword Type	Enumerated
Multiples Allowed?	No, only one for each LINK_STATION keyword

The PROPAGATION_DELAY parameter specifies the time it takes for a signal to travel the length of the link, in microseconds, for this link station. The value is encoded as a 1-byte floating-point number, represented by the following formula:

0.1 mmm * 2 eeeee

where the bit representation of the byte is eeeeemmm.

Valid values are:

LAN: Less than 480 microseconds delay.
MAXIMUM: Maximum propagation delay.
MINIMUM: No propagation delay.
PKT_SWITCHED_NET: Between 49 512 and 245 760 microseconds delay.
SATELLITE: Longer than 245 760 microseconds delay.
TELEPHONE: Between 480 and 49 512 microseconds delay.

This parameter is optional.
