•  1 (on) for sending keep alive messages 
•  0 (off) no messages are sent 
Default 
By default, keep alive messages are sent (1). 
SOCKETRCVBUF 
Use this parameter to control the size of the TCP/IP receive buffer. When setting this parameter to a non-zero value the 
specified parameter is used on a socket level. 
Parameter Syntax 
SOCKETRCVBUF bytes 
Arguments 
 bytes 
A number representing the size of the TCP/IP receive buffer in bytes. A value of 0 means the receive buffer size 
configured in the TCP/IP process is used. 
Considerations 
•  Setting this parameter to a higher value can increase throughput when transferring files. Normally the value 
configured in the TCP/IP process is sufficiently high. 
Default 
The default is 0. 
SOCKETSNDBUF
