NET.CFG Options Reference

Protocol TCPIP Option

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Sockets

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) sockets are used to support concurrent

TCP connections.

If you conﬁgure multiple ODI LAN drivers for TCP/IP and anticipate using

applications that make heavy concurrent use of sockets, modify the number

of TCP sockets by conﬁguring the TCP_SOCKETS parameter value to a

larger number.

TCP_SOCKETS number

Speciﬁes the maximum number of concurrent TCP sockets (connections).

If you are conﬁguring multiple ODI LAN drivers for TCP/IP, set the number

of TCP sockets to the total shared by all drivers.

The value for your TCP_SOCKETS must be at least equal to the

NB_SESSIONS value plus 1. See “NB_SESSIONS number” on page 215

for more information.

Parameters and Values

TCP_SOCKETS number

UDP_SOCKETS number

RAW_SOCKETS number

Syntax

tcp_sockets number

Default 8

Range 0 to 64

Example To set a maximum of sixteen concurrent TCP connections,

you could place the following lines in your NET.CFG ﬁle:

protocol tcpip

ip_address 129.47.6.84

ip_router 144.52.6.6

ip_netmask 255.255.0.0

tcp_sockets 16
