Ah if I am not mistaken the limit_predated means it will reject bundles whose timestamps is to far (more than allowed by the parameter) in the future. So it seems "pre"dated is not a good word for this, as it rather means "post"dated.

limit_lifetime does just what it says on the can: Bundle whose lifetime is greater will be rejected. This is rather a safeguard against unfortunate "mishaps". Once one of our students accidentally managed to generate lots of bundles with a lifetime of several years and we had a real hard time getting them out of our network and thus this feature was born :)

Hello,

The difference between the limit_predated_timestamp and the limit_lifetime is quite unclear to me.

Would anyone please explain the difference, or better yet the meaning of limit_predated_timestamp.

Thank you.
