7.3.1.3 TCP Suspend Statement

The optional TCP Suspend statement provides suspend
processing for the TCPSAP and TCPTSS files. TCP/IP Telnet
Server data is used to build the TCPTSS file. Since sessions
can span multiple days, it is necessary to retain the last
observation for each session that has not ended and include
that information for processing with the next group of data
read.  By doing so, the file elements can be correctly
calculated for long-running sessions or those that span
multiple input data files.

API Calls for Sockets data is used to build the TCPSAP file.
A record is logged either for API Call to start a Telnet
session or for any time an FTP command is used. It is,
therefore, necessary to retain the last observation for each
API INIT action that has not TERMinated and include that
information for processing with the next group of data read.
By doing so, the file elements can be correctly calculated
for long-running sessions or those that span multiple input
data files.

If the TCP Suspend statement is not specified, the default
value is 30.

The TCP Suspend Statement has the following format:

TCP Suspend n

where n is a number between 1 and 365 that identifies the
number of times that information pertaining to a TCP/IP
activity that has not yet ended will be suspended.
