Description

 

 

 

 

TCP send buffer

4,096 bytes

 

Maximum capacity of the TCP send buffer

 

 

 

 

TCP receive buffer

4,096 bytes

 

Maximum capacity of the TCP receive buffer

 

 

 

 

UDP send buffer

9,000 bytes

 

Maximum capacity of the UDP send buffer

 

 

 

 

UDP receive buffer

9,016 bytes

 

Maximum capacity of the UDP receive buffer

 

 

 

 

FINS receive buffer

16,383 bytes

 

Maximum capacity of the FINS receive buffer

 

 

 

 

RAW send buffer

2,048 bytes

 

Maximum capacity of the RAW send buffer

 

 

 

 

RAW receive buffer

2,048 bytes

 

Maximum capacity of the RAW receive buffer

 

 

 

Hold timer

75 s (12 min max.)

The hold timer is used for active open processing of TCP sockets.

 

 

 

An ETIMEDOUT error will occur if connection is not completed within

 

 

 

75 s.

 

 

 

 

Resend timer

Initial value:

1 s

The resend timer is used to monitor completion of reception of arrival

 

Maximum value: 64 s

confirmations when transferring data via socket services, including FTP

 

 

 

server and mail transfer TCP sockets. If the timer setting is exceeded

 

 

 

before arrival confirmation is received, data is resent. Resends are per-

 

 

 

formed from the first timeout (1 s) through the 12th timeout (64 s).

 

 

 

An ETIMEDOUT error will occur after the 12th timeout.

 

 

 

 

Continue timer

Initial value:

5 s

The continue timer starts if preparations have been completed to send

 

Maximum value: 60 s

data but the send window is too small (either 0 or too small) to send the

 

 

 

data and the remote node has not requested that communications be

 

 

 

restarted. Confirmation of the window size is requested from the remote

 

 

 

node when the continue timer times out. The initial value of the timer is

 

 

 

5 s and confirmation processing will continue consecutively with increas-

 

 

 

ingly longer times until the maximum time of 60 s is reached.

 

 

 

 

2MSL timer

60 s

 

The 2MSL timer starts at the TCP socket that first closes the socket and

 

 

 

will run for 60 s in the TIME_WAIT status.

 

 

 

 

IP reassemble timer

12 s

 

A fragmented IP packet is discarded if it cannot be reassembled within 12

 

 

 

seconds.

 

 

 

 

ARP timer

20 min/3 min

 

If a complete ARP table entry (with an Ethernet address) is not referred

 

 

 

to for 20 minutes, it is removed from the table.

 

 

 

An incomplete ARP table entry (no response yet returned to the ARP

 

 

 

request) is removed from the table after 3 minutes.

 

 

 

 

Window size

4,096 bytes

 

The initial value of the maximum capacity used to control the conver-

(initial value of maxi-

 

 

gence of TCP sockets. Actually, the node negotiates with the remote

mum window size)

 

 

node and uses the smaller of the values for the two nodes. The window

 

 

 

size will fluctuate with the available space in the TCP reception buffers of

 

 

 

the remote node when processing communications.

 

 

 

 

Fragment size

1,500 bytes

 

Data packets are fragmented into 1,500-byte IP packets. UDP data is

 

 

 

separated into 1,472-byte fragments before sending.

 

 

 

 

Segment size

1,024 bytes

 

TCP data is separated into 1,024-byte units, unless the segments are dif-

 

 

 

ferent, in which case it will be separated into 536-byte units.

 

 

 

 

TTL (Time to Live)

30

 

Decremented each time an IP router is passed.
