Configuration Guide - IP Service
6.1 Introduction to IP Performance
On certain networks, you need to change IP parameters to optimize the performance of networks.
Here, IP performance parameters supported by the S9300&S9300E are described.
6.2 IP Performance Supported by the S9300&S9300E
This section describes the IP Performance features supported by the S9300&S9300E.
The S9300&S9300E supports the following IP performance parameters that can be changed:

6.3 Optimizing IP Performance
This section describes how to optimize IP performance of a certain network by setting IP
performance parameters.
6.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Applicable Environment
On certain networks, you need to change IP performance parameters to optimize the
performance. To optimize the performance, you need to set parameters.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before optimizing IP performance, complete the following tasks:
l
Issue 01 (2012-03-15)
Sending of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) host unreachable packets
Sending of ICMP redirection packets
Sending ICMP Port Unreachable packets
Discarding the ICMP packets whose TTL values are 1
Discarding the ICMP packets that carry options
Discarding ICMP Destination Unreachable packets
Load balancing mode of IP packet forwarding
NOTE
On the S9300&S9300E, you can set the load balancing mode for only the packets sent by the CPU.
Timeout interval of the TCP FIN-Wait timer
Timeout interval of the TCP SYN-Wait timer
Size of the packet receive or transmit buffer of the connection-oriented socket
Forcible fragmentation of packets on an interface at the outbound direction
Statistics on Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), IP, User Datagram Protocol (UDP),
and socket monitor traffic
Connecting interfaces and setting physical parameters of the interfaces to ensure that the
physical layer of the interfaces is in the Up state
