[comp.os.vms] Wanted: advice on tuning DECnet asynchronous DDCMP circuit

jimr@metro.UUCP (06/03/87)

We are running DECnet over a static asynchronous DDCMP line at 9600 baud.  All
line and circuit parameters have their default values except that the circuit
has 4 receive buffers.

The connection is used for both file transfer and remote logins.  Users complain
that when a large file is being transferred, remote interactive response becomes
unacceptably slow: for example, screen editing is impossibly painful. 

Is there any way we can tune DECnet parameters so as to improve the perform-
ance, or to favour traffic for remote logins over traffic for file transfer?

We are running VMS V4.5 on one host and MicroVMS V4.5 on the other.

Thanks in advance,
