IP Performance Overview

In some network environments, you can adjust the IP parameters to achieve best network performance.

IP performance optimization configuration includes:

Enabling the device to receive and forward directed broadcasts

Configuring TCP timers

Configuring the TCP buffer size

Enabling ICMP error packets sending

Enabling Reception and Forwarding of Directed Broadcasts to a
Directly Connected Network

Directed broadcast packets are broadcast on a specific network. In the destination IP address of a

directed broadcast, the network ID is a network ID identifies the target network, and the host ID is

all-one. If a device is allowed to forward directed broadcasts to a directly connected network, hackers

may mount attacks to the network. Therefore, the device is disabled from receiving and forwarding

directed broadcasts to a directly connected network by default. However, you should enable the feature

when using the Wake on LAN function to forward directed broadcasts to a host on the remote network.

Enabling Reception of Directed Broadcasts to a Directly Connected Network

If a device is enabled to receive directed broadcasts, the device will determine whether to forward them

according to the configuration on the outgoing interface.

Follow these steps to enable the device to receive directed broadcasts:

To do…

Use the command…
