Loop Limit

N2FE Flow Operation - Loop Limit

The Loop Limit operation allows NCC to restrict the number of times the operation is triggered in a control plan.

It should be used where a loop within a control plan is known to occur to ensure that NCC does not loop forever between nodes.

Depending on configuration, loop limit nodes might be required to allow any loops in control plans.

Config Parameters

The LoopLimit operation config attributes are as follows.

Parameter	Type	Description
`loop_limit`	Integer	A value between 0 and 1000 determining what NCC should consider the maximum number of times processing the operation.

Example Operation

Here is an example LoopLimit operation in JSON representation.

    {
        "id": 5,
        "type": "LoopLimit",
        "base_node": 4,
        "config": {
            "loop_limit": 5
        },
        "exits": [ 7, 6 ]
    }

Exits

Two exits are allowed. Both are optional.

Exit Index	Name	Description
`0`	Below Limit	[Optional] This exit is used if the number of times NCC has processed this node in a running control plan is less than the loop limit.
`1`	Limit Reached	[Optional] This exit is used if the number of times NCC has processed this node in a running control plan is equal to or greater than the loop limit.
