Setting the Minimum Retransmission Timeout
You can specify a minimum 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 high-speed network and you set the minimum
retransmission timeout value too high, network performance may degrade because
TCP must wait for the timeout period to elapse before retransmitting
unacknowledged data.
Using the BCC
By default, the router sets the minimum retransmission timeout value to 250
milliseconds (ms).
To specify a value for the minimum retransmission timeout, navigate to the TCP
prompt and enter:
min-rto
<
integer>
integer
is a value from 100 to 15,000 milliseconds (ms).
For example, the following command sets the value for the minimum
retransmission timeout to 300 ms:
tcp#
min-rto 300
tcp#
