TCP Stack Parameters (continued)
RFC2018: Selective Acknowledgements
This box is normally checked so that KwikNet will follow the selective acknowledgment
strategy as documented in RFC2018. Leave this box unchecked to disable this feature.
RFC2414: Initial Send Window Increase
This box is normally checked so that KwikNet will increase the initial TCP send window
as recommended in RFC2414. Leave this box unchecked to disable this feature.
RFC2581: Congestion Control
This box is normally checked so that KwikNet will follow RFC2581 which updates the
recommended TCP congestion control strategy documented in RFC2001. Leave this box
unchecked to disable this feature and ignore the update.
RFC3042: Limited Transmit Algorithm
This box is normally checked so that KwikNet will follow the limited transmit algorithm
documented in RFC3042. The algorithm is intended to enhance the TCP Loss Recovery
process. Leave this box unchecked to disable this feature.
Send Immediate ACK
Check this box if you want KwikNet to immediately send an ACK response whenever it
receives a TCP packet with the PSH flag set, requiring immediate delivery of the data to
the application. This action may improve performance when connected to a TCP peer
running Windows 2000. It is usually best to leave this box unchecked to disable this
feature.
Packets on User Boundaries
Check this box if you want TCP data packet transmission to be tightly coupled to your
application's requests to send data. Each request to send data will force a new TCP
packet to be generated. Performance will be sacrificed but the application will be able to
control the manner in which its data is presented in packets on the network. Leave this
box unchecked to disable this feature for best performance.
Note: If this feature is used, Path MTU Discovery (see IPv4 Parameters page) and TCP
Selective Acknowledgements (see above) will be disabled!
