and what is optima packet size / how to change it/


tenx!

That's not an easy one.
Like asking: what is the speed of a car on the road -:)
Depending on the computer/network card/network design/ application/ protocol
etc..
If you could give us more information maybe we can come up with some decent
answers.

Yeah, this is not something you can easily answer.  The closest answer is
the MTU which is usually 1500 in most environments (1500 at the computer
level to allow for the headers.)

You do not want to change this unless you have a REALLY good reason.  The
fact that you had to ask this, implies that you probably don't have a good
enough reason.  this affects your computers, routers, switches.... most
everything and can be a major work effort.

The best reason out there is for tunneling/ encapsulating traffic, so you'd
need to decrease the MTU to allow for the encaps headers.

TCP/IP protocol,
adapter is intel gigabit network interface
built-on-chip,
how to translate packets of trafic into bytes?

its on win2k3 srver.

tenx!

One cannot do that, without knowing the actual
contents.

Note that TCP and IP are not even the same
'protocol'  -- IP is what gets packets from here
to there, and TCP is a another member of the
IP (or TCP/IP) protocol SUITE.

[A 'suite' is a group of protocols that are installed
and configured together.  In English the word suite
is also used for a office inside of (larger) building
which has "multiple rooms" or in a hotel where
there is more than room assigned to the guest, e.g.,
"an office suite" or "a suite of rooms".]

With TCP programmers pay little attention to packet
size -- TCP (the protocol) takes care of cutting the
stream of date into appropriate chunks.  The programmer
just treats the (open) stream like a file or other pipe:
send data to it and let the protocol take care of the
details of delivery.

With UDP (the major alternative to TCP) the programmer
must actually worry about things like (maximum) packet
size and error correction or receipt confirmation.

so how to read-out number of data bytes my network
interface has sent/recieved?
Is there any progam or anything?
