SOCKTCPRXMTCNT 
Use this parameter to control the maximum number of continuous retransmissions prior to dropping a TCP connection. 
When setting this parameter to a non-zero value the specified parameter is used on socket level. 
Parameter Syntax 
SOCKTCPRXMTCNT count 
Arguments 
 count 
A number representing the maximum number of continuous retransmissions prior to dropping a TCP 
connection. A value of 0 means the maximum number of continuous retransmissions prior to dropping a TCP 
connection configured in the TCP/IP monitor process is used. 
Considerations 
•  Normally the value configured on TCP/IP monitor process level should be sufficient, i.e. the default value 
should be used for parameter SOCKTCPRXMTCNT. See document "HP NonStop TCP/IPv6 Configuration and 
Management Manual" for details. 
•  The Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) subsystem does not support the corresponding socket option TCP_RXMTCNT, 
i.e. the default value must be used for parameter SOCKTCPRXMTCNT if CIP is involved. See document "HP 
NonStop TCP/IPv6 Configuration and Management Manual" for details. 
Default 
The default is 0. 
SOCKTCPTOTRXMTVAL 
Use this parameter to control the maximum continuous time spent retransmitting without receiving an acknowledgement 
from the other endpoint. When setting this parameter to a non-zero value the specified parameter is used on socket level. 
Parameter Syntax 
SOCKTCPTOTRXMTVAL time 
Arguments 
 time 
A number representing the maximum time for TCP retransmission timeout. A value of 0 means the maximum 
continuous time spent retransmitting without receiving an acknowledgement from the other endpoint configured 
in the TCP/IP monitor process is used. 
Considerations 
•  Normally the value configured on TCP/IP monitor process level should be sufficient, i.e. the default value 
should be used for parameter SOCKTCPTOTRXMTVAL. See document "HP NonStop TCP/IPv6 
Configuration and Management Manual" for details. 
•  The Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) subsystem does not support the corresponding socket option 
TCP_TOTRXMTVAL, i.e. the default value must be used for parameter SOCKTCPTOTRXMTVAL if CIP is 
involved. See document "HP NonStop TCP/IPv6 Configuration and Management Manual" for details. 
Default 
The default is 0.
