<h4 id="rzahjper-maxframesizeref">Maximum frame size (MAXFRAME) parameter</h4>
<p>The maximum frame size is specified in the MAXFRAME parameter in the line
and controller descriptions. Larger frame sizes generally supply better performance.
Large frame sizes may not work well for error-prone lines or networks because
longer times are required to transmit large frames when errors are encountered.</p>
<p>For each line type, set these maximum frame sizes in the line description.</p>
<p>To take advantage of these large frame sizes, these values must be configured
correctly. The MAXFRAME parameter on the line description and controller description
must reflect the maximum value.</p>

<div class="notebody">For X.25, increase the DFTPKTSIZE
parameter value and MAXFRAME parameter value to its maximum value.</div>
<p>Having configured a large frame size does not negatively affect performance
for small transfers. Note that both the server and the other link station
must be configured for large frames. Otherwise, the smaller of the two maximum
frame size values are used in transferring data. Bridges may also limit the
frame size.</p>

<div class="notebody">In order to run HPR, MAXFRAME must be set to at least 768.</div>
