Time to Live Parameter This parameter controls the to live time of the datagram to prevent it being looped forever due to routing errors Routers decrement the TTL of every datagram as it traverses from one network to another When its value reaches 0 the packet is dropped This parameter doesn t impact the AX3000 performance e The TCP port Assignment Parameter The AX3000 resources screen sessions and auxiliary ports are identified by numeric values called TCP ports The TCP port assignment can be either random or fixed The default value depends on the current network service The random method means the AX3000 TCP ports are different after every re boot On booting the AX3000 generates a new base value This value x is between 1024 and 3072 For each session a range of 8 TCP ports is given session 1 x x 7 session 2 x 8 x 15 When a connection is established the next port of the associated range is used After 8 connections the same TCP port of a range is re used 304 AX3000 User s Manual AXEL Appendix The main benefit of this method is that if the AX3000 is suddenly powered off power cut for example at the next boot time the connections are immediately accepted by the server i e the sessions are hooked on different sockets because the TCP ports are different However this does create phantom sessions as the initial sessions are still active from the server s perspective and must be k
