- Here is a question that I am sure has been asked before but no one I talk
- to seems to know the answer. On a Sun Sparc 2 SunOS 4.1.X I would like to
- set the default TCP window size to be as large as possible(32kbytes no ?).
- Does anyone know a good source for this type of information. I am working
- on TCP over a satellite and I would also like to extend default time outs
- to drop the TCP connection. Does anyone know how to set this parameter as
- well? I assume it is in a header someplace and then I rebuild the kernel
- but it would be nice to see the procedure written down before I start
- flailing the system. Thanks in advance. -GSM
