Data Transfer Options

Compress Data
Controls compression of data transmitted across the network. Select the checkbox to turn this option on.
 
Encrypt Data (Using option selected below)
Controls encryption of data transmitted across the network. Select the checkbox to turn this option on.
This option sets a default value that is used when the encrypt parameter of the open statement is omitted. The configured default may be overridden at any time from the open statement.
When this value is set to a specific SSL/TLS cipher, UDM always requests that cipher when encrypting data.
Note that if the target UDM Server does not support the selected cipher (as indicated by the Server's configured data SSL/TLS cipher list), the encryption request fails.
 
When this option is checked and no specific cipher is specified, UDM uses the Manager and Server's configured data SSL/TLS cipher list to negotiate the encryption method.
 
When the data encryption checkbox is selected, you may select an item in this list to set the UDM Manager's encrypt configuration option to an SSL/TLS cipher. UDM then requests this cipher whenever it encrypts the data it transfers. Note that if the target UDM Server does not support the selected cipher (as indicated by the Server's configured data SSL/TLS cipher list), the encryption request fails.
 
The following cipher suites are available:

When the data encryption option is checked and the (negotiate using data SSL/TLS cipher list) item is selected, the encrypt option is set to yes, which instructs UDM Manager to negotiate the encryption method with the Server, using their respective data SSL/TLS cipher lists.

Send/Receive Buffer Sizes

Set Default Send Buffer size to
When this option is selected, a value may be specified that overrides the default size of the application buffer used to send data across a network connection.
A buffer size of 0 (zero) is saved when this option is left un-selected. UDM will then manage the size of the buffers itself based on internal limits.
Exercise caution when changing this option, as it could have a significant performance impact. See the send_buffer_size configuration option in the UDM Reference Manual for more information.
 
Set default receive buffer size to
When this option is selected, a value may be specified that overrides the default size of the application buffer used to retreive data from a network connection.
A buffer size of 0 (zero) is saved when this option is left un-selected. UDM will then manage the size of the buffers itself based on internal limits.

Field

Description

...

Override the default TCP receive buffer and set to

...

Allows the UDM manager to set the TCP receive buffer for a UDM server larger than the default maximum of 64k bytes. Setting this value enables RFC 1323 window scaling support, which can increase TCP buffer sizes over a fast, high-bandwidth network to almost 1 gigabyte (1,073,725,400 bytes).
 
When this option is not selected a UDM uses a default of 0 bytes, which disables RFC 1323 window scaling support. Note that even when a value is specified for this option, the TCP/IP stack ultimately decides the size of the transfer buffer. Specifies the TCP receive buffer size for the TCP socket connections from the UDM manager to the UDM server. The option has no effect for UDM three party transfers. The UDM server and Universal Broker configuration affects UDM three party transfers.
 
Refer to the Universal Broker tcp_recv_buffer option to set the TCP receive buffer for the other end of the socket connection.
 
The socket TCP receive buffer is used by TCP to determine the size of the TCP window it advertises to the sending TCP. If both TCP implemenations support window scaling (as defined in RFC 1323), buffer sizes greater then 65535 will be used for the TCP window size. Note that both the sending and receiving TCP implemenations must support window scaling for it to be used in the TCP connection.
 
Adjusting the TCP receive buffer size may improve bulk data transfer performance for certain types of transmission links when transfering data from the UDM server to the UDM manager. The format of the value is nnnnb, where 'nnnn' is a numeric value and 'b' is one of the following optional unit specifiers:

Note that the maximum allowable value for this option is 1073725440 bytes, which can be requested using a value of 1g.

...

Select this option to disable the TCP packet coalescing algorithm (that is, Nagle algorithm). When this option is unchecked, the default TCP implementation is used, which may or may not disable the algorithm.
 
Exercise caution when changing this option, as it could have a significant performance impact. See the tcp_no_delay configuration option in the UDM Reference Manual for more information.
 
This option is checked by default.

Universal Data Mover Manager: SSL/TLS Protocol Options

Field

Description

Control Session SSL cipher List

Universal Data Mover uses the SSL/TLS protocol for internal communication between application components. A control session is established within the application that provides the connections necessary for this communication to take place. The SSL/TLS cipher suites available for communication across the control session are listed here.
 
The selected cipher suites will be forwarded to the Universal Data Mover Server. The Server will compare this list to its own list of ciphers it is capable of accepting. The result of the comparison will be an agreed-upon cipher used for communication over the control session. If you are unsure which ciphers will be accepted by the Server, it is best to leave them all selected. Use the up/down arrows on the right to sort the list and establish a priority for the selected ciphers. The first one in the list that is accepted by the Server will be the one used.
 
The following cipher suites are available:

To disable SSL/TLS encryption and message authentication for messages transmitted across the control session, select the NULL-NULL entry. Use of this cipher requires that the remote UDM Server's encrypt_control_session option be set to no. Otherwise, the UDM Server will issue a protocol error when the Manager tries to establish the control session with it.

Description

Network Fault Tolerance

Enable Network Fault Tolerance
When this option is selected, network fault tolerance will be requested for each instance of a Universal Data Mover Manager that is run from this location. This means that if the remote Universal Data Mover Server supports network fault tolerance, all lost network connections will be detected and recovered.

Network Delay
The number of seconds that can be attributed to network latency for any transmission of data among Universal components. This value is automatically added to any network operation where a time out condition is possible and needs to be handled.
 
Retry Count
The maximum number of reconnects that will be attempted if a network connection is lost and network fault tolerance is enabled.
 
Retry Interval
The number of seconds between each reconnect attempt.


Frame interval
The frame interval is the number of transmission blocks between synchronization points.
 
Acknowledge data transfer after every
Specifies the size of the Network Fault Tolerant (NFT) acknowledgement window. The NFT protocol requires an acknowledgement (ACK) message from the receiver to acknowledge the receipt of the data. The ACK window specifies the amount of data sent before an ACK is required. The larger the window the more data that is sent before waiting for an ACK message. A large ACK window can improve transfer performance over large bandwidth, high latency connections.
 
The format of the value is nnnnb, where 'nnnn' is a numeric value and 'b' is one of the following optional unit specifiers:
