INACOMP BUG REPORT
PRODUCT: INTEL NETPORT II
DATE: 92/09/21
SUMMARY: The default settings for a Netport make it
send out lots of network traffic.
HARDWARE AFFECTED: Intel Netport II
SOFTWARE AFFECTED: Netport software version 4.11 in this case
SYMPTOMS: Played around with a Lanalyzer at a client site
and discovered that the Netport, by default,
is set to check for print jobs once every second
(the default parameter is 10 tenths of a second).
This sends out one send and one reply packet
every second for every queue defined on a
Netport. This was generating a signifigant
(about 100 packets/second) amount of traffic on
the client network.
FIX: In NPADMIN, this parameter can be changed. I
changed it to check every 15 seconds (150 tenths
on the menu).
