Parameter: TCP Window Size
Path:
Configuration Manager > Protocols > DLSw > Advanced > Global
Default: 8000
Range: 5000 to 64000 (octets)
Function: Specifies (in octets) the maximum amount of DLSw data that the local and
remote TCP entities can send before requiring an acknowledgment, or can
receive before acknowledging. The TCP Window Size parameter informs
DLSw about how much data can be outstanding on a TCP connection. The size
of the window affects performance, latency, flow control, and memory usage. A
larger window causes less flow control to occur with a possible increase in
latency. Editing the TCP Window Size parameter affects new TCP session
establishment only. Existing sessions are unaffected.
Instructions: Type any valid number of octets. Generally, networks with slower line speeds
require smaller window sizes, while networks with faster line speeds benefit
from larger windows. The default value is acceptable for most networks. A TCP
Window Size setting of 5000 octets may be appropriate for low-speed lines (or
networks running over low speed lines). For high-speed lines, you may want to
increase this value, or use the default value.
The default value is based on both NetBIOS and SNA traffic. SNA and
NetBIOS can have frame sizes up to 4 KB, but the default virtual ring MTU
limits the frame size on the network to 1500 bytes (unless changed). Keep the
window as small as possible. This allows the most consistent response time
when packets are not excessively queued in TCP. Selection of this parameter
depends on the WAN speed and frame size distribution.
