_rexmit_interval_max Parameter

Description

Defines the default maximum retransmission timeout value (RTO). The calculated RTO for all TCP connections cannot exceed this value. See also _ip_abort_interval Parameter.

Default

60,000 milliseconds

Range

1 millisecond to 7,200,000 milliseconds

Dynamic?

Yes

When to Change

Do not change the value in a normal network environment.

If, in some special circumstances, the round-trip time (RTT) for a connection is about 10 seconds, you can increase this value. If you change this value, you should also change the _ip_abort_interval parameter. Change the value of _ip_abort_interval to at least four times the value of _rexmit_interval_max. The TCP_RTO_MAX socket option can be used to change the initial retransmission timeout on a per-socket basis.
