Subject:	SCOUG-General: TCP/IP questions

Content Type: text/plain

[Networking, Programming]

In TCP/IP:

1. How many sockets am I allowed to have open?

2. If the socket buffer becomes full, what happens to new data received
by TCP/IP?

-- 2a. Does TCP/IP tell the sender to stop sending data, and if so,
what happens to packets that are already in transit and subsequently
received by TCP/IP while the socket buffer is still full?

-- 2b. Or, does TCP/IP have a "master buffer" where it keeps packets
that it can't move to a socket buffer yet?

3. I know I can set socket options to increase the receive buffer size.
What's the maximum size I can make this buffer?

Thanks.

- Peter
