Good documentation is truly an asset to a project, as is a supportive community. Help offered by that community is usually appreciated regardless of whether or not everyone thinks it should have been provided. Discussion leads to education and questions can trigger improvements. I believe the original question is valid. I've read the manual and I don't think the answer is obvious - if it is, please excuse me. Yes the manual tells you how to query the timeouts, skipped interfaces and other things but it doesn't clearly state how you can query the current block policy, state policy or optimization settings for example. The question does not deserve being labelled the beginning of another RTFM thread. Nathan Rickerby
