2.1 IP Performance Overview
2.1.1 Introduction to IP Performance Configuration
In some network environments, you need to adjust the IP parameters to achieve best
network performance. The IP performance configuration supported by S3100 Series
Ethernet Switches includes:
z
Configuring TCP attributes
z
Disabling ICMP to send error packets
2.1.2 Introduction to FIB
Every switch stores a forwarding information base (FIB). FIB is used to store the
forwarding information of the switch and guide Layer 3 packet forwarding.
You can know the forwarding information of the switch through the FIB table. Each FIB
entry includes: destination address/mask length, next hop, current flag, timestamp, and
outbound interface.
When the switch is running normally, the contents of the FIB and the routing table are
the same.

TCP optional parameters that can be configured include:
z
synwait timer: When sending a SYN packet, TCP starts the synwait timer. If no
response packets are received before the synwait timer times out, the TCP
connection is not successfully created.
