Description
Send RSTs
RST is a TCP control bit that informs the receiving TCP stack to
end a connection immediately. However, sending this bit may
pose a security risk. Select whether you want the RST control bit
sent to end a connection immediately. Choices are:
Enabled
= the RST bit is sent. (default)
Disabled
= the RST bit is not sent.
Ack Limit
Specify a value indicating the number of packets which must be
received before an ACK is forced.
If there is a large amount of
data to acknowledge, an ACK will be forced before this.
If the
sender TCP implementation waits for an ACK before sending
more data even though the window is open, setting Ack Limit to
“1” packet will improve performance by forcing immediate
acknowledgements.
Send Data
Determine when data may be sent to the network.
Choices are:
Standard
= waits for an ACK before sending a packet less than
the maximum length.
Expedited
= sends data whenever the window allows it.
