The protocol permits those values to be distinct from the async ones.  They 
should be in a separate set of params.

My point, unless my very quick glance at the module mislead me, is that you 
can't configure to use echo mode - if it's supported - in the grouping imported 
by the IGPs.

My implementation doesn't support echo, so I don't have any opinion about where 
configuration of those belongs or not.
