Cabletron Systems DMS-100 manual Sample datafill for table Ipproto, Iprsmtmo, Arprftmo

94Chapter 3: EIU datafill

If there is a serious performance problem, typically on very slow networks, modification of this table may be considered to increase timeout values.

Datafill sequence and implications

There are no datafill sequence and implications.

Datafill

Table 23 lists the fields and value ranges used to datafill an EIU in table

IPPROTO.

Table 23 Field descriptions for table IPPROTO for EIU datafill

Field	Subfield or	Entry	Explanation and action
	refinement
IPRSMTMO		1 to 100	The IP reassembly time-out. This field
		(seconds)	sets the time when IP reassembly gives
			up reassembling a packet.
			By default the IP reassembly time-out is
			10 seconds. The time-out can be
			modified to improve performance in
			extreme network conditions. On
			extremely slow networks this may be
			increased to give reassembly a better
			chance to reassemble before the time-
			out occurs.
ARPRFTMO		1 to 720	ARP cache time-out. On slow networks,
		(seconds)	the ARP cache time-out can be
			increased from the default of 1minute.
			Increasing the time-out too much can
			cause an excessively large ARP cache,
			thereby reducing the network
			performance.
