Team,

I was reviewing draft-ietf-lmap-information-model-05 and had a question on the
ma-controller-lost-timeout:  A timer is started after each successful contact with a controller.  When the timer reaches the controller-lost-timeout, all schedules will be disabled.

We changed this from a threshold to a timeout but the data type is still an <int> and there are not units assigned to the timeout (e.g., milliseconds, seconds).

Also the description is vague - When we mean schedules disabled - so we mean administratively or operationally? In other words - does it take an explicit action from the controller to reenable the schedule or simply the next contact. Also is this the schedules that are disabled or scheduled tasks.

I would assume the timeout would be in seconds and we should change the data type to unsignedInt unless of course a negative number has some meaning?

Thanks,
Tim
