This creatable/settable value configures the requested transfer delay, between 1 and 4000 milliseconds, for the profile's QoS parameters, with 0 meaning unspecified. An admin sets this lower for latency-sensitive profiles and can leave it looser for delay-tolerant bulk-data profiles, since the requested delay directly affects how the network prioritizes and schedules the profile's traffic. For example, a profile intended for near-real-time control traffic might request a delay near the low end of the range, while a firmware-update profile might tolerate a delay much closer to the 4000 ms ceiling.
