Maximum time (in minutes) that an interface can be suppressed. Range is from 1 through 20000, and must be greater than the reuse threshold. Limit at which an interface is suppressed when its penalty exceeds that limit. Penalty value below which a stable interface is unsuppressed. Of the half-life period is 1 to 45 minutes. The process of reducing the penalty happens every 5 seconds. Once the interface hasīeen assigned a penalty, the penalty is decreased by half after the half-life
