2-12 IP Performance Optimization ConfigurationWhen optimizing IP performance, go to these sections for information you are interested in:z IP Performance Overviewz Configuring IP Performance Optimizationz Displaying and Maintaining IP Performance Optimization ConfigurationIP Performance OverviewIntroduction to IP Performance ConfigurationIn some network environments, you can adjust the IP parameters to achieve best network performance.The IP performance optimization configuration supported by S5100-SI/EI Series Ethernet Switchesincludes:z Configuring TCP attributesz Disabling ICMP to send error packetsIntroduction to FIBEvery switch stores a forwarding information base (FIB). FIB is used to store the forwarding informationof the switch and guide Layer 3 packet forwarding.You can know the forwarding information of the switch by viewing the FIB table. Each FIB entry includes:destination address/mask length, next hop, current flag, timestamp, and outbound interface.When the switch runs normally, its FIB table and routing table have the same contents.Protocols and Standardsz RFC 793, Transmission Control Protocolz RFC 1323, TCP Extensions for High PerformanceConfiguring IP Performance OptimizationIP Performance Optimization Configuration Task ListComplete the following tasks to configure IP performance Optimization:Task RemarksConfiguring TCP Attributes OptionalDisabling Sending of ICMP Error Packets OptionalConfiguring TCP AttributesTCP optional parameters that can be configured include:
