NET.CFG Options Reference

Link Support Option

Default	For IPX:
	communication_number: The IPX protocol utilizes its
	own buffers and does not require the Link Support
	Layer software to provide buffers for it.
	buffer_size: 1500 bytes
	For TCP/IP:
	communication_number: 8 buffers
	buffer_size: 1500 bytes
	TCP/IP requires only 1500 bytes, because the LAN
	driver places the 14 bytes of media header on the
	frame, prior to transmission.
	For LSL:
	buffer_size: 1514 bytes
	This accommodates any protocol that utilizes raw
	sends on Ethernet.

Example	To ensure that the communication buffers are large enough
	to hold all media headers, you could place the following
	lines in your NET.CFG ﬁle:
	[For an Ethernet conﬁguration]
	link support
	buffers 8 1514
	[For a token-ring conﬁguration]
	link support
	buffers 8 4222
