Window Management
The optimal TCP window size is automatically calculated using the maximum bandwidth parameter, the
minimum available bandwidth parameter, and the dynamically measured round trip time (RTT).
The configured round-trip-time parameter determines the window scaling factor of the TCP
Note
connection. This parameter is only an approximation. The measured RTT value overrides the round trip
time parameter for window management. If the configured round-trip-time is too small compared to
the measured RTT, then the link may not be fully utilized due to the window scaling factor being too
small.
The min-available-bandwidth parameter and the measured RTT together determine the threshold below
which TCP aggressively maintains a window size sufficient to transmit at minimum available bandwidth.
The max-bandwidth-mbps parameter and the measured RTT together determine the maximum window
size.
Note
Set the maximum bandwidth to match the worst-case bandwidth available on the physical link, keeping
in mind other traffic that might be going across this link (for example, other FCIP tunnels, WAN
limitations)–in other words, maximum bandwidth should be the total bandwidth minus all other traffic
going across that link.
To configure window management, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch(config-profile)# tcp max-bandwidth-mbps
900 min-available-bandwidth-mbps 300
round-trip-time-ms 10
switch(config-profile)# no tcp max-bandwidth-mbps
900 min-available-bandwidth-mbps 300
round-trip-time-ms 10
switch(config-profile)# tcp max-bandwidth-kbps
2000 min-available-bandwidth-kbps 2000
round-trip-time-us 200
Monitoring Congestion
By enabling the congestion window monitoring (CWM) parameter, you allow TCP to monitor
congestion after each idle period. The CWM parameter also determines the maximum burst size allowed
after an idle period. By default, this parameter is enabled and the default burst size is 50 KB.
OL-18084-01, Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.x
Purpose
Disables SACK.
Enables SACK (default).
Purpose
Configures the maximum available
bandwidth at 900 Mbps, the minimum slow
start threshold at 300 Mbps, and the RTT at
10 msec.
Reverts to the factory defaults. The FCIP
defaults are maximum bandwidth at 1 Gbps,
minimum available bandwidth at 500 Mbps,
and RTT at 1 msec.
Configures the maximum available
bandwidth at 2000 Kbps, the minimum
available bandwidth at 2000 Kbps, and the
RTT at 200 msec.
