            NOTE 1 – Tack for the downstream direction is measured at the U-R reference point. Tack for the upstream direction is
            measured  at  the  U-O  reference  point.  Tret  for  the  downstream  direction  (retransmission  of  downstream  DTUs)  is
            measured at the U-O reference point. Tret for the upstream direction (retransmission of upstream DTUs) is measured
            at the U-R reference point.
            NOTE 2 – The above figure shows a simplified representation as the propagation delay is ignored.
            9.8.2 Retransmission control parameters
            This clause specifies the primary and derived control parameters to support the retransmission function,
            along with the valid and mandatory configurations of these parameters.
            9.8.2.1    Primary parameters

            The primary control parameters for retransmission are defined in Table 9-18.


                                              Table 9-18 – Control parameters

                 Parameter                                        Definition
             NDR_max            Maximum allowed value for NDR in kbit/s (see clause 11.4.2.2).
             ETR_min            Minimum allowed value for ETR in kbit/s (see clause 11.4.2.1).
             INP_min_shine      Minimum impulse noise protection (INP) against a single high impulse noise event (SHINE) in
                                symbol periods (see clauses 9.8.3.3 and 11.4.2.4).
             SHINEratio         The loss of NDR expressed as a fraction of NDR (see Table 9-21) due to a SHINE impulse noise
                                environment expected by the operator to occur at a probability acceptable for the services
                                (see clause 11.4.2.5).
             INP_min_rein       Minimum impulse protection against repetitive electrical impulse noise (REIN) in symbol
                                periods (see clauses 9.8.3.3 and 11.4.2.6).
             iat_rein_flag      Configuration flag indicating the inter-arrival time of REIN. The flag shall be set to 0, 1, 2 or 3
                                if the inter-arrival time is derived from REIN at 100 Hz, 120 Hz, 300 Hz or 360 Hz, respectively
                                (see clauses 9.8.3.3 and 11.4.2.7). (Notes 1, 2)
             delay_max          Maximum delay in increments of 0.25 ms (see clauses 9.8 and 11.4.2.3).
             RTX_TESTMODE       A management primitive initiating the PMS-TC test mode for accelerated testing of MTBE
                                (see clause 9.8.3.1.2).
             rnratio_min        The minimum allowed ratio RFEC/NFEC of FEC code parameters (see clause 11.4.2.8). (Note 3)
             NOTE 1 – This parameter is not relevant if the INP_min_rein is set to 0.
             NOTE 2 – The REIN periodicity is derived from the assumption of 2 or 6 equally spaced impulses per AC cycle of 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
             Consideration of cases where the impulses are not equally spaced is for further study.
             NOTE 3 – This parameter applies to data path only; the valid range for R FEC/N FEC of the RMC encoder is from 0.25 to 0.5.

            9.8.2.2    Valid configurations
            A valid configuration shall consist of the configuration of each control parameter with one of their valid
            values specified in Table 9-19.
