NET.CFG Options Reference

Protocol TCPIP Option

Parameters and Values

TCP_SOCKETS number

UDP_SOCKETS number

RAW_SOCKETS number

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Sockets

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) sockets are used to support concurrent TCP connections.

If you configure multiple ODI LAN drivers for TCP/IP and anticipate using applications that make heavy concurrent use of sockets, modify the number of TCP sockets by configuring the TCP_SOCKETS parameter value to a larger number.

TCP_SOCKETS number

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent TCP sockets (connections).

If you are configuring multiple ODI LAN drivers for TCP/IP, set the number of TCP sockets to the total shared by all drivers.

The value for your TCP_SOCKETS must be at least equal to the

NB_SESSIONS value plus 1. See “NB_SESSIONS number” on page 215 for more information.
