Setting Maximum Retransmission
You can specify a maximum value for the retransmission timeout. When one side
of a TCP connection sends a frame and does not receive an acknowledgment from
the other side of the connection within the timeout period, the sending station
retransmits the frame.
If you are transmitting on a low-speed network and you set the maximum
retransmission timeout value too low, the network may become congested as TCP
retransmits unacknowledged frames that have not yet reached their destination.
Setting Maximum Window Size (bytes)
You can specify a value in bytes to determine the maximum transmit-and-receive
window size that TCP allows for each connection. The larger the window size, the
more memory each TCP connection consumes.
