Route Addition Resistance
The Route Additional Resistance represents how desirable one NN is compared to another
NN, for routing immediate sessions through them. The lower values are more desirable.
The range is 0 (default) to 255.
Congestion
This field toggles to Low or High.
• Low indicates that only low congestion nodes should be used.
• High indicates that both low and high congestion nodes can be used.

Each node row contains a set of minimum node characteristics, a set of maximum node
characteristics, and a weight. To compute the weights for a node using this COS, the node’s
characteristics are checked against the characteristics defined in each node row. The node is
then assigned the weight of the first node row which bounds all the node’s characteristics
within the limits specified. If the node’s characteristics do not satisfy any of the listed node
rows, the node is considered unsuitable for this COS, and is assigned an infinite weight. Note
that the node rows must be specified in ascending order of weight, and the minimum value
should be less than or equal to the maximum value.
The next panel is the third APPN COS panel.
Cost/Connect
Cost/connect time is the relative cost of being connected over the line. Nonswitched lines
have the lowest cost, switched lines have the highest cost. The range is 0 (default) to 255.
Cost/Byte
Cost/byte is the relative cost per byte of sending and receiving data on the line. The valid
range is 0 (default) to 255.
