How to Set Delay and Throughput for a Slow Link
To set delay and throughput on an interface, complete the following steps:
1
Load NIASCFG, then select the following parameter path:
Select Configure NIAS > Protocols and Routing > Bindings > a network
interface > Expert Bind Options
2
Select Delay Override , then enter a value.
By default, this parameter is set to 0, which means the router uses the
default value for LANs or the value estimated by IPXWAN. The valid
range is from 1 to 5,000,000 microseconds. One tick equals 55,000
microseconds, or about 1/18 of a second.
The value you enter overrides the default delay for this interface.
3
Select Throughput Override , then enter a value.
By default, this parameter is set to 0, which means the router uses the
value reported by the LAN driver or estimated by IPXWAN. The valid
range is from 300 to 4,294,967,295 bps.
The value you enter overrides the default throughput for this interface.
4
Press Esc and save your changes.
5
Press Esc to return to the Internetworking Configuration menu.
6
If you want these changes to take effect immediately, select Reinitialize
System .
If you want to configure other parameters, do so now, then reinitialize the
system when you are finished.
Configuring IPX for Wireless Connectivity
In addition to the standard IPX routing software for wired LANs and WANs,
Novell Internet Access Server 4.1 routing software provides wireless
connectivity for portable NetWare workstations through NetWare Mobile
IPX
TM
software.
NetWare Mobile IPX consists of router and mobile client software that work
in concert to shield network users from the protocol and Network-layer
interruptions that occur when a user changes network interfaces or locations
during a network session.
