ACK_WINDOW - UDM Manager configuration option
- Former user (Deleted)
Description
The ACK_WINDOW option specifies the amount of data transferred in Network Fault Tolerant (NFT) mode before waiting for a data acknowledgement message from the receiver.
ACK_WINDOW provides the ability to tune NFT data transfers. The NFT protocol can reduce data transfer rates when it waits for an acknowledgement message. The impact is greater on high latency transmission links. Increasing the ACK_WINDOW size will result in more data transferred before UDM waits for an acknowledgement message.
