MPE/iX 5.5 Operating System Limits

an addressable access point for the establishment of TCP connections. TCP sockets are
refered to as SAP.(Service Access Points)
TCP IP/address/network connection table
#TCP_MAX_NETWORKS = 11
TCP_MAX_NETWORKS is a constant which defines the maximum number of
simultaneously active networks supported by TCP.
# MAX_PATH_RETRIES = 20;
This indiactes the maximum number of attempts to resolve a path to reach the specified
destination,before TCP gives up and throws out path resolution error.
UDP - user datagram protocol
The maximum number of UDP sockets supported is 4096. This value is configurable
through NMMGR.
UDP obtains objects from VSM for its socket entries. Up to 16 objects are obtained to
contain the # 4096 socket entries. Each object contain 256 socket entries.{ 4096 / 16 =
256 }
UDP_MAX_OBJECTS = 16;
Network interface/path resolution modules
This section describes the limits encounterd in the Network layer and the MPE routing
related limits.
MAX_NUMBER_NETWORKS = 12; { maximum number of networks supported}
As of 6.0, the routing capablity of MPE is significantly increased. The maximum number
of Gateways that can be configured in system is 256. Earlier releases of MPE supports
only allows 14 gateways to be configured.
Virtual terminal limits
