Can someone out there help us clarify this point?

SOME implementation require you set frame size to the number of data bytes plus overhead (plus one for SunLink) while others assume the overhead and only want the number of data bytes. Does anybody really know what this is supposed to be on Cisco? We tried 1029 a while ago and if I remember it just made things worse (which seemed to imply that cisco only wanted data frame size). So... anybody have the definitive answer?> --Art >From moyes@sndsn1.SINet.SLB.COM Mon Oct 29 09:43:52 1990 Return-Path: Received: from sndsn1.psi by sjosu1.sinet.slb.com (4.0/SINet-4.0.1) id AA18748; Mon, 29 Oct 90 09:43:51 PST Date: Mon, 29 Oct 90 09:43:51 PST From: moyes@sndsn1.SINet.SLB.COM (Keith Moyes - SINet Operations - 303 791-6022) Message-Id: <9010291743.AA18748@sjosu1.sinet.slb.com> To: aef X-Vms-To: FEATHER Subject: IP and SLCS Status: R Art, As I remember this, it was discussed. The point we were not sure on was whether to have Chris set the Cisco to 1024(8192) or 1029(8232).

So perhaps you should bump it up a bit. Simon Will do. Why didn't the folks at the NOC tell me this when we discussed it months ago? Chris =========== End Forwarded Messages ===========
