We have some confusion about the N1 parameter for the cisco box I have
on our corporate network (as you can see below). Can someone out there
help us clarify this point?

Subject: Cisco frame size
OK, we've been talking about this for some time, but are not sure what
exactly it should be set to.
SOME implementation require you set frame size to the number of data bytes
plus overhead (plus one for SunLink) while others assume the overhead and
only want the number of data bytes.
Does anybody really know what this is supposed to be on Cisco? We tried
1029 a while ago and if I remember it just made things worse (which seemed
to imply that cisco only wanted data frame size).
So... anybody have the definitive answer?>

Art,
As I remember this, it was discussed. The point we were not sure on was
whether to have Chris set the Cisco to 1024(8192) or 1029(8232).

The SINet standard for frame size is 1029 bytes, or 8232 bits. So
perhaps you should bump it up a bit.

Will do. Why didn't the folks at the NOC tell me this when we discussed
it months ago?
