Description
Send RSTs
Click
Enabled
to send RSTs or
Disabled
to stop sending RSTs. TCP
contains six control bits, with one or more defined in each packet. RST is one
of the control bits. The RST bit is responsible for telling the receiving TCP
stack to end a connection immediately.
Note:
Setting the RSTs may pose a security risk.
Ack Limit
Enter a number to limit how many packets get received before an ACK gets
forced. If there is a large amount of data to acknowledge, an ACK gets
forced. If the sender TCP implementation waits for an ACK before sending
more data even though the window is open, setting the
Ack Limit
to 1
packet
improves performance by forcing immediate acknowledgements.
Send Data
The
Send Data
selection governs when data may be sent into the network.
The Standard implementation waits for an ACK before sending a packet less
than the maximum length. Select Expedited to send data whenever the
window allows it.
