The TCP Configuration dialog box displays the retransmission algorithm and timeout information for this device. The algorithm determines how long the system will wait, after transmitting an unacknowledged segment, before timing out and retransmitting the segment. This information helps control traffic congestion on your network.
The dialog box displays the following data:
The following list specifies buttons in this dialog box, as well as their function:
Retransmission Algorithm (tcpRtoAlgorithm)
Algorithm used to determine the timeout value for retransmitting unacknowledged octets. There are four possible values:
other (1) | none of the following |
constant (2) | A constant RTO |
rsre (3) | MIL-STD-1778, Appendix B |
vanj (4) | Van Jacobson's algorithm [10] |
Min Retransmission Timeout (msec) (tcpRtoMin)
Minimum value permitted by a TCP implementation for retransmission timeout, measured in milliseconds.
Max Retransmission Timeout (msec) (tcpRtoMax)
Maximum value permitted by a TCP implementation for retransmission timeout, measured in milliseconds.
Maximum number of TCP connections the entity can support. In entities where the maximum number is dynamic, this object should have the value "-1".
