Default MTU for Local Routes
_ipcfg.RtDefaultMTU
Default Value
1500
Description
When a route is created, it gets its MTU from the egress device. However, if
the route is local to the system, there is no egress device. In this case, a default
MTU is used.
Default TTL for Packets Sent via a Socket
_ipcfg.SockTtlDefault
Default Value
64
Description
This is the default IP packet TTL value of packets sent via a socket. Note that
the application can override this value with the sockets API.
Default TOS for Packets Sent via a Socket
_ipcfg.SockTosDefault
Default Value
0
Description
This is the default IP packet TOS value of packets sent via a socket. Note that
the application can override this value with the sockets API.
Maximum Connections on a Listening Socket
_ipcfg.SockMaxConnect
Default Value
8
Description
This is max number of connects a socket will pend waiting for a sockets ac-
cept() call from the application. Note: This value is also the upper bounds of
the ”max connection” argument supplied by an application via the sockets lis-
ten() function (calls with higher values are silently rounded down).
Maximum Time in Seconds to Wait on a Connect
_ipcfg.SockTimeConnect
Default Value
80
Description
This is max amount to time the sockets layer will wait on an actively connecting
socket. The default value of 80 is a few seconds longer than the TCP keep
time, so TCP will generate the official (more accurate) timeout error.
