Description

The following connection/settings attributes may be configured via management/configuration file:

• maxFrameSize
• maxSessions
• maxSessionFrames (session window).

These attributes may also be configured via policy.  The policy configuration takes precedence.

If a policy is configured but does not specify override values for any of the above attributes, one would expect any existing configured values would take effect.

However this is not the case.  If you set values for the above attributes in the router config file, and you define a matching policy that does not override these values, the policy  will overwrite your configured values with what policy thinks is the default value
