630Expire packets that couldn't be sent after this many seconds
631(default: \f(CW60\fR). Gvpe will normally queue packets for a node without an
632active connection, in the hope of establishing a connection soon. This
633value specifies the maximum lifetime a packet will stay in the queue, if a
634packet gets older, it will be thrown away.

637The maximum number of packets that will be queued (default: \f(CW512\fR)

623some host tries to connect to another host without a hostname, it asks
624the router host for it's \s-1IP\s0 address. The router host is the one with the
625highest priority larger than \f(CW1\fR that is currently reachable.

646chosen is the one with the highest priority larger than \f(CW1\fR that is
647currently reachable. This is called a \fImediated\fR connection, as the
648connection itself will still be direct, but it uses another node to
649mediate between the two nodes.

651The value \f(CW0\fR disables routing, that means if the node receives a packet
652not for itself it will not forward it but instead drop it.
