PingClass
Summary
Determines the frequency with which a router is tested (pinged)
to determine if it is still attached to the network.
This property classifies routers based on the probability that the
router may be detached. The higher the probability, the more

The Object Server assumes a
router to be detached if it cannot communicate with that router
three consecutive times.
