Appendix D Microsoft Data Link Control Protocol 355
maxmember
Specifies the maximum number of SAPs that may belong to each
Group SAP.
The default values for maxgroup and maxmember are zero because
most applications do not use Group SAPs. Increase these values if
your applications use Group SAPs.
maxout
Specifies the number of packets to send before expecting an
acknowledgment. This number is often called the send window.
When the adaptrate entry is present and has a value of zero, the
maxout value is not dynamically adjusted. Otherwise, the
Microsoft DLC driver adjusts the maxout value as described in the
adaptrate entry in this section.
saps
Indicates the number of SAPs that may be opened simultaneously. For
a description of SAPs see the IBM Local Area Network Technical
Reference. For more information about adjusting the saps entry, see
the stations entry.
stacksize
Indicates the size, in bytes, of Microsoft DLC’s internal stack.
stations
Indicates the number of link stations that may be opened
simultaneously on each SAP.
Each interface application requires a certain number of SAPs and
stations. Because each SAP or station takes up memory, you should
provide just enough for your application to run. Here are some
samples of the number of SAPs and stations needed by specific
applications:
