LARGE INTERNET PACKETS=[on off]

Sets the Large Internet Packet (LIP) packet size above the default of 576 bytes.

In the past, NetWare communicated across routers and bridges with a 576- byte maximum packet size. However, Ethernet and token ring are capable of using larger packets for communication.

When the value for this parameter is set to “on,” the maximum packet size negotiated between the NetWare server and the client workstation is used, even across routers and bridges.

Syntax	large internet packets=[on off]
Default	on
Modules	IPXNCP.VLM, NWP.VLM
Example	To minimize the packet size used between the NetWare
	server and client workstation, you would place the
	following lines in your NET.CFG file:
	netware dos requester
	large internet packet=off
