'The AliveMsgPeriod value holds the message exchange period in milliseconds.You should pick this number based on your failover requirements. A longer message exchange period will reduce the networking overhead needed to maintain fault tolerance, but it will increase the failover delay.'

'The AliveMsgTolerance value specifies how many exchanged messages from a host can be missed before the cluster initiates convergence. You should pick this number based on your failover requirements. Increasing the number of message exchanges prior to convergence will reduce the number of unnecessary convergence initiations due to transient network congestion, but it will also increase the failover delay.

'This property specifies a host's unique priority for handling default network traffic for TCP and UDP ports that are not included in the Port rule configuration. It is used in case a host within the cluster goes offline, and determines which host within the cluster will take over handling this traffic if required. The allowed values for host priority range from 1 to the maximum number of hosts. Lower values indicate higher priorities (where 1 is the highest priority).Each host within the cluster must specify a unique host priority. NOTE: This has no affect on traffic that is load balanced. It only applies to traffic that is not handled by a port rule.'
