Linux Network Administrators Guide (2nd Edition)
Tuning the Transmission Protocol
All protocols allow for some variation in packet sizes, timeouts, and the like. Usually, the defaults provided work well under standard circumstances, but may not be optimal for your situation. The g protocol, for instance, uses window sizes from 1 to 7, and packet sizes in powers of 2 ranging from 64 through 4096.
Taylor UUCP provides a mechanism to suit your needs by tuning these parameters with the protocol-parameter command in the sys file. For instance, to set the g-protocol's packet size to 512 when talking to pablo, you have to add:
The tunable parameters and their names vary from protocol to protocol. For a complete list of them please refer to the documentation enclosed in the Taylor UUCP source.
