You are probably referring to the QoS and ToS, but that really shouldn't be necessary unless the issue is caused by network saturation. Chances are, latency is the core issue. The only things I know of to address the apparent performance issue, assuming latency is the issue, include:
- reduce the number of round trips between the client and server - alter the network topology so that the latency is reduced - identify devices that are overloaded causing increases in the latency and address them Axton Grams On Thu, Jun 26, 2008 at 12:43 PM, Susan Palmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ** > Dave, > > All of these are very good 'Remedy' answers.
