maximum packet size: how to retrieve it from the system?
Author
i have read an article about the maximum packet size
i can remember that you can set it somewhere in your network setup on win98 or even Me but i am currently running XP and couldn t find the option anymore
so is there are a way to retrieve it from the system and if how do it do this
or whats the command to do this?
thx in advance
I have never heard of this. But, I think that Windows will automaticly cut your "big" packet into smaller ones, and send it.
Then the reciever will automaticly paste the packets into one packet.

i am pretty sure there is otherwise it doesn t make sense to mention the limit somewhere
and i remember having seen such a option somewhere in the network setup a long time ago
they probably removed it and let windows do this now but there has been a something like that

seens like you are refering to the mtu (max transfer unit) of your network interface
I have no idea where to set it on windows, but be carefull to not set a value beyond the mtu of the hardware/protocol otherwise transfer rates will suffer like hell

It really wouldnt matter if you changed these settings on your pc, because if it reaches a link where the mtu is smaller, it will still get fragmented anyway.

This is the max windows size, that incoming buffer size. Dont know if this is what you are looking for. but look at that dir for more options.
