Hi and thank you for your suggestion!

Right now this is the configuration of the token in our cluster:

> root at aaa:~# corosync-cmapctl | grep token
> runtime.config.totem.token (u32) = 12750
> runtime.config.totem.token_retransmit (u32) = 3035
> runtime.config.totem.token_retransmits_before_loss_const (u32) = 4

The token_retransmit is calculated automatically by the formula

token / (token_retransmits_before_loss_const + 0.2)

and in our case is 3035 miliseconds. I have 2 questions:

1. Because the value is automatically calculated is better to increase 
the value "retransmits_before_loss_const" (or decrease the "token" 
value) than to set a constant (200 milliseconds for example)?
2. If I alter this value and in the future a node will be added/removed, 
the value will remain the same or it will be recalculated?


Thanks
