Appendix C TCP/IP Protocol 347
The [sockets] section of TCPUTILS.INI has the following entries and
values:
Entry Value
drivername= The SOCKETS driver name. This is a required entry, and
the value must be SOCKETS$.
numsockets= The maximum number of sockets to be supported. The
range is 1 through 31; the default is 4.
poolsize= The buffer size (in bytes) used by the sockets driver for
nonblocking send calls. The entry is set when the system
is initialized. The range is 3200 through 28800 bytes; the
default
is 3200.
maxsendsize= The maximum send size (in bytes) allowed on user
datagram protocols (UDPs) or nonblocking TCP sends.
The range is 32 through 2048 bytes; the default is 1024.
In TCPUTILS.INI, as in PROTOCOL.INI, workstation names
beginning with a numeric character must be enclosed in double
quotation marks (" ").
Loading Microsoft TCP/IP and Sockets
In order for sockets to load, the Microsoft TCP/IP protocol must
already be loaded. On MS-DOS workstations, you can load and unload
Microsoft TCP/IP with Demand Protocol Architecture (DPA), using the
commands load tcpip and unload tcpip. If you are planning to use a
sockets-based application from within the Windows operating system,
you must load Microsoft TCP/IP before starting thed Windows
operating system.
Most utilities that use sockets will load sockets before running the
application and unload it when done. However, if you will be using
sockets-based applications frequently and have sufficient memory, you
might prefer to preload the sockets interface, using the command:
sockets
⇔ To unload sockets
• Type sockets /u
