649 #
650 # Parameters for self-announce timers
651 #
652 # @initial: Initial delay (in ms) before sending the first GARP/RARP
653 # announcement
654 #
655 # @max: Maximum delay (in ms) between GARP/RARP announcement packets
656 #
657 # @rounds: Number of self-announcement attempts
658 #
659 # @step: Delay increase (in ms) after each self-announcement attempt
660 #
661 # @interfaces: An optional list of interface names, which restricts the
662 # announcement to the listed interfaces. (Since 4.1)
663 #
664 # @id: A name to be used to identify an instance of announce-timers
665 # and to allow it to modified later. Not for use as
666 # part of the migration parameters. (Since 4.1)
