[arm-allstar] timed link disconnect from receiving node

[Doug Crompton]

Butch,

 First of I must point out we are not DMR. If someone connects somewhere
and they are not causing a problem in my opinion it would be impolite to
disconnect them. I see no reason to do that in most situations. Many people
connect and are lurkers which is fine. It would also raise all kinds of
questions as to why it happened. The network or Allstar would be blamed for
disconnects unless you somehow made it clear that this would happen after
so much inactive time. Also the Allstar reconnect feature of permanent
connects could override it. In other words if you had a disconnect time out
either internally or in a script someone else could have a reconnect. There
is really no reason why someone can't stay connected. My combined hubs have
50-60 connects on a daily basis and others have more without problems. Most
are permanent connects so if the hub resets they all reconnect within a few
seconds.

My question would be why would you want to do this? What purpose would it
have in Allstar?
