I'm working in a network with a very slow internet access. I need to ask about the maximum delay What is the default setting of the typical server/application, before a given packet are timed out? Especially for http, ftp and IRC (dalnet). I need to know, how long can a packet to be queued, or it's better to be dropped, because it has been timed out by the receiver sever or application. I'm afraid, If I drop a packet too fast, I'm forcing a "retry". Also, If I queue packet too long, maybe the packet will be doubled, since the application has sent a retry request. Even worst, the "retried packet" are also timed out. So, there will be two unused packet in the queue. Thank you in advance Adi Nugroho _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
