<h4 id="rzahjper-maxlenrusizeref">Maximum length request/response unit size (MAXLENRU) parameter</h4>
|
||
|
|
<p>The maximum length of a systems network architecture (SNA) request/response
|
||
|
|
unit (RU) can be specified with the MAXLENRU parameter in a mode description
|
||
|
|
for APPC, APPN, and HPR.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you select a value of *CALC for the MAXLENRU parameter, the system selects
|
||
|
|
an efficient size that is compatible with the frame size that you choose.
|
||
|
|
(The frame size is on the line description command.) Many newer input/output
|
||
|
|
processors support IOP assist. Changing the RU size to a value other than
|
||
|
|
*CALC may negate this performance feature.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In most situations, the use of the *CALC value for the MAXLENRU parameter
|
||
|
|
gives you the optimal RU size. If *CALC is not used, consider the following
|
||
|
|
situations when deciding on the appropriate value:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Choose an RU size that is slightly less than the maximum frame size or
|
||
|
|
a multiple of the maximum frame size. This setting ensures that the largest
|
||
|
|
possible frame size transmits all the time.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>For frame relay, use RU sizes that; when combined with your packet size
|
||
|
|
and protocol, minimize communications costs.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>For token-ring, Ethernet, and wireless network users, use a large RU size
|
||
|
|
that is slightly less than a multiple of the frame size.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>For X.25, optimal values are from 241 through 32768. Pacing values must
|
||
|
|
be coordinated when considering performance with the MAXLENRU parameter.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>For synchronous data link control (SDLC), do not change the *CALC value
|
||
|
|
on the MAXLENRU parameter.</li></ul>
