The Packet Size Report provides two functions:
• The first function is to report on the maximum packet and window size resulting from
the socket constraints at either end for global setup commands. This is important
because the sockets' packet or window size constraint can reduce the maximum
protocol window or packet size. The packet size is set by the transport protocol.
• The second function is to report on the packet sizes that were actually created for
global setup commands. This part is most useful for monitoring the sizes for
messages that are smaller than the packet sizes or for monitoring the sizes from
external traffic sources.
Packet Maximum
Window Maximum
