Socket queue size

giorgio martini — Thu, 13 Dec 2001 17:02:03 GMT

My product, running on Hp-Ux 10.20, uses "setsockopt" function to set the socket queue size, for instance to 64 KBytes.
First question. The socket queue size for both send and receive (seen with nettune) still remain to the default value 32 Kbytes. Anyway, I noted (netstat -a) that the sockets grow over the maximum allowed (32KB) even until 64KB. Is there any system effect if we don't change to 64KB the socket queue size using nettune?
Second question. nettune is the way to set socket queue size for Hp-Ux 10.20; what's the corresponding way for Hp-Ux 11.00?
