1314.0. "Tuning Windows NT for DEFEA ?" by HEN::HALEY (Chris Haley DTN 256-5729) Mon Apr 11 1994 22:02

The release notes for the latest Windows NT DEFEA driver state that
the deault TCP window size is 8k and should be increased for better
performance.

The example says to set TcpWindowSize to x8000

Is x8000 the same as the default?  if so, what would be a reasonable
value to increment this to?

Some guidance would be appreciated, I have both a server and client machines
using this card.

Thanks

No the default is 8k (0x2000), but by changing it to 0x8000 you are changing the
default to 64k.  

I guess its a little confusing because of the using both talking about both hex
decimal.

    		DEC FDDIcontroller/EISA (DEFEA) NDIS 3.0 miniport
    		driver now available for Internal Field Test.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    v1.42T of the new "Daytona-Ready" DEFEA drivers is now available for
    internal field test.  These drivers support all three DEFEA variants
    (SAS MMF, DAS MMF, SAS UTP) on both Alpha AXP and Intel versions of
    Windows NT 3.5.  To keep control of the driver kit distribution, I've
    already sent mail to individuals with prior interest in the driver.
    If you did not receive that mail and are interested in having the
    driver kit pointer, please send email to YESWAY::STEFANI.

    Once the driver kit is stable for a wider distribution, it will be made
    available on all of the public areas (KALI::PCDRIVERS, Gatekeeper,
    CompuServe, etc.)

    If there are any questions, please send mail.
