parallel requests to a given PMA.

The PM will spend up to RespTimeout *
MaxAttempts per packet. These allow
two modes of operation.
When MinRespTimeout is non-zero, the
PM will start with MinRespTimeout as
the time-out value for requests and use
multiples of this value for subsequent
attempts if there is a time-out in the previous
attempt. PM will keep retrying until
the cumulative sum of time-outs for
retries is less than RespTimeout multiplied
by MaxAttempts. This approach is
recommended and will react quickly to
lost packets while still allowing adequate
time for slower PMAs to respond.
When MinRespTimeout is zero, upon a
time-out, up to MaxAttempts are
attempted with each attempt having a
time-out of RespTimeout. This
approach is provided for backward compatibility
with previous PM versions.
SweepErrorsLogThreshold 10 Maximum number of PMA node or Port
warning messages to output per sweep
with regard to nodes which cannot be
properly queried.
Overrides of the Common.Shared parameters
The Common.Shared parameters can be overridden in the Pm using the
parameters described in Table 3-29
