IP Time to Live Expiring
Counter
IP Time to Live Expiring is a counter of all expiring connections over a period of
time per segment. A count of all IP Time to Live Expiring events displays in the
Overview counters of Expert View. A threshold for this counter can be set in Expert
Alarms to generate an alarm based on a specific number of expiring connections.
Expert Symptom
