Limiting DATA Bursts

Section 6.1 of RFC 4960 describes the SCTP protocol parameter, Max.Burst, used to limit the number of DATA chunks that are transmitted at one time.

Use the following procedure to assign a value to the SCTP protocol parameter, Max.Burst.

1. From superuser mode, use the following command sequence to access network-parameters configuration mode.

   ORACLE# configure terminal
   ORACLE(configure)# system
   ORACLE(system)# network-parameters
   ORACLE(network-parameters)#

2. Use the sctp-max-burst parameter to assign a value to the SCTP protocol parameter, Max.Burst.

   Allowable values are integers within the range 0 through 4294967295 that specify the maximum number of DATA chunks that will be sent at one time. In the absence of an explicitly configured integer value, sctp-max-burst defaults to 4 (DATA chunks, the recommended default value from RFC 4960).

   ORACLE(network-parameters)# sctp-max-burst 4
   ORACLE(network-parameters)#

3. Use done, exit, and verify-config to complete configuration of DATA burst limitations.

   ORACLE(network-parameters)# done
   ORACLE(system)# exit
   ORACLE(configure)# exit
   ORACLE(configure)# exit
   ORACLE# verify-config
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------
   Verification successful! No errors nor warnings in the configuration
