maxout
Specifies the number of NetBIOS message packets to send before
expecting an acknowledgment. This number is often called the “send
window.”
When the adaptrate entry is present and has a value of zero, the
maxout value is not dynamically adjusted. Otherwise, the NetBEUI
driver adjusts the maxout value as described in the adaptrate entry in
this section.
Set the maxout value to be near but not less than the value of maxin.
If maxout is less than maxin, the t2 timer times out frequently and
wastes link bandwidth.
maxtransmits
Specifies the number of packets the NetBEUI driver can pass at once
to a media-access control driver. If this number is small, the NetBEUI
driver queues the packets internally. If this number is large, the media-
access control driver takes greater responsibility for queuing the
packets.
The value of this entry depends entirely on the capabilities of the
media-access control driver. For more information, see the “Media-
Access Control Drivers” section later in this chapter; many such
drivers have a maxtransmits entry.
mintransmits
Specifies the number of transmission confirmations the NetBEUI
driver must receive from a media-access control driver before sending
more packets, after the media-access control driver returns an “out-
of-resource” condition.
The value of this entry depends entirely on the capabilities of the
media-access control driver, but it should be smaller than the value of
maxtransmits.
The value 0 has the same effect as the value 1.
names
Sets the maximum number of NetBIOS names that can be defined.
One name is always reserved for defining the station address of the
network adapter.
If the NetBEUI driver is bound to more than one media-access
control driver, this entry specifies the number of names each driver’s
name table can have.
For more information about adding names, see the sessions entry in
this section.
ncbs
Specifies the number of NCB descriptors to allocate for managing
NCBs submitted to the NetBEUI driver. Typically, this value is twice
the value for sessions.
