919.0. "Adaptive pacing with non-zero window size..." by EDSCLU::BELANGER (DEBUGGING. The art of creating better bugs!) Tue May 06 1997 17:46

    Windsor,
    
    Bill P. is in Telviv and would like an answer to the following
    question:
    
    	When an AS/400 sends a BIND with the adaptive pacing bit set
    	and a non-zero value for the window size, if the response is
    	sent the same way, how does the AS/400 interpret that?  From
    	what we have seen, it appears that the AS/400 interprets this
    	as a response from a back-level or LEN node and assumes that
    	the adaptive bit was erroneous and therefore uses fixed pacing
    	rather than adaptive pacing.  The non-zero window size is how
    	the LU6.2 for DIGITAL UNIX implementation works.  We need to
    	know if clearing the window size is really necessary or should
    	we be looking someplace else.
    
    Thanx,
    
    ~Jon.

919.1AS/400 vs Adaptive pacingFREE::WINDSORWed May 07 1997 10:0512
Jon - 

  After searching trhough both the documentation and Ibmlink, I can find no indication 
of a window size specification with adaptive pacing being other than the suggested 
minimum window size.  As long as the adjacent system supports adaptive pacing and
the AS/400 does not have tmspty (transmission priority) set to *LOW, we should be 
using adaptive pacing.  Can we recreate Bill's problem here?  If so, I will investigate
further.

Let me know if you need more information.
