Increase the Number of Virtual Circuits Allowed
For X.25 datagram transport, you can establish up to eight SVCs to
one host for each map.
To increase the num ber of virtual circuits allowed, perform one or both
of these tasks in interface configuration mode:
zSpecify the default maximum number of SVCs that can be open
simultaneously to one host for each map.
x25 nvc
count
zSpecify the maximum number of SVCs allowed for a map.

Configure the Ignore Destination Time
Upon receiving a Clear Request for an outstanding datagram transport
Call Request, the X.25 encapsulation code immediately tries another
Call Request if it has more traffic to send. This action can overrun
some X.25 switches.
To define the number of minutes the Cisco IOS software will prevent
calls from going to a previously failed destination, type this command
in interface configuration mode. Incoming calls will st i ll be accepted.

minutes
Establish the Packet Acknowledgment Policy
You can instruct the Cisco IOS software to se nd an acknowledgment
packet when it has received a threshold of data packets it has not ac-
knowledged, instead of waiting until its input window is full. A value
of 1 sends an acknowledgment for each data packet received if it can-
not be acknowledged in an outgoing data packet. This approach im-
proves line responsiveness at the expense of bandwidth. A value of 0
restores the default behavior of waiting until the input window is full.
To establish the acknowledgment threshold, type (in interface config-
uration mode):

The packet acknowledgment threshold also applies to encapsulation
PVCs.
