But, since I'm delivering very small datasets over LAN speeds then a typical MSL of 2 minutes would be extremely high. But, I can't get any definite handle on whether MSL is a hard figure or a function of mean RTT. RFC793 defines maximum length that a socket pair should not be used as 2 MSL, thus MS's setting of 4 minutes on the TIME_WAIT. Any thoughts? You know....this may explain the 8.14/7.13 anomaly. The 7.13 box is about 25% underpowered related to the 8.14. It may be that it just runs out of horsepower before it runs out of sockets. SW> HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\MaxUserPort Didn't know about this one. Will try it. Still can't explain why 8.14 has no problem delivering to PF on BSD 4.07. Never see more than 30-40 sockets in TIME_WAIT. -- Best regards, David mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
