Modifying the History Size
To maximize throughput, you can modify the History Size parameter.
To modify this parameter for the line, access the WCP Line Interfaces List
window. To modify this parameter for a circuit, access the WCP Circuit Interfaces
List window.
For instructions on accessing configuration windows, see “Accessing
Configuration Windows” on page 3-2. For parameter descriptions, see
Appendix A, “Data Compression Parameters.”
Preventing Data Loss for PPP and Frame Relay
Buffer size is the amount of memory allocated to store the transmission history.
You must configure this parameter to protect against data loss if you run PPP or
frame relay. You can use a buffer size of None, Normal, Large, or Very Large. The
default value is Normal. Configure buffer space based on the following
conditions:
• Length of time it takes for data to travel over the link
A Normal buffer size is usually large enough for a coast-to-coast connection
within the United States. You may need a Large or Very Large buffer if your
link is over a satellite connection.
• Number of dropped packets
For a link with a high number of dropped packets, increase the buffer size. For
a link with a very low number of dropped packets, decrease the buffer size,
even to None, to conserve memory.
• Number of resets
For a link with a high number of resets and a low number of dropped packets,
increase the buffer size. Be aware, however, that a high number of resets may
occur for reasons unrelated to buffer size.
Note:
X.25 is a reliable protocol, which means that it has features that check
for errors and prevent data loss. Bay Networks data compression software
ignores the Buffer Size parameter for X.25.
