Parameter: WCP Circuit Search Depth
Attribute Name: wfWcpCircuitSearchDepth
Attribute Number: 7
Default: 256
Options: 0 (no compression on this circuit) to 255 (maximum compression on this
circuit), or 256 (inherit wfWcpLineSearchDepth value on this circuit)
Function: Defines the depth of searching for repetitive patterns in the data you want
to send over a specific (virtual) circuit. Whenever you choose a
customized value (within the range 0 to 255) for
wfWcpCircuitSearchDepth, you automatically choose not to inherit the
wfWcpLineSearchDepth value.
Instructions: Compression ratios may improve with settings higher than 3 (the value
inherited from the wfWcpLineSearchDepth attribute); however,
throughput may actually decrease for settings higher than 12 or 13. (The
compression engine yields higher compression ratios, but takes longer to
find token matches for the data being sent over the circuit.) Bay Networks
does not recommend settings higher than 13.
Accept the default value to inherit the wfWcpLineSearchDepth value on
this circuit, or choose a customized value that provides the best trade-off
between compression ratio and throughput on this circuit.
Test end-to-end throughput on this circuit before and after modifying the
WCP circuit search depth value.
Command:
set wfWcpCircuitEntry.wfWcpCircuitSearchDepth <0 - 255
