the total number of LNS nodes available.
the total number of LNS nodes available.
prioritized
LNS selection is made based on the priority assigned in the Tunnel-Preference attribute. An example of this
method is three LNS nodes, with preferences of 1, 2, and 3 respectively. In this example, the RADIUS server
always tries the tunnel with a preference of 1 before using any of the other LNS nodes.
