I would have to say that the idle-timer is for pure idle time..... not just
interesting traffic.... AFAIK interesting traffic is only used to initiaite
the dial, but after that any traffic is enough to keep the link open......
BUT (now that I've looked it up).... I'M WRONG! Damn.... I hate when that
happens.....
from Cisco's site:
"Interesting packets are packets that pass the restrictions of the access
lists. These packets either initiate a call (if one is not already in
progress) or reset the idle timer if a call is in progress. Uninteresting
packets are transmitted if the link is active, but dropped if the link is
not active. Uninteresting packets do not initiate calls or reset the idle
timer."
Good call Charles......
