ALTER MON Command for TCP6MAN
MAX-EPHEMERAL-PORT int
is the largest port number to allocate for TCP and UDP ephemeral ports. The 
default is 65024. The allowable range is (MIN-EPHEMERAL-PORT + 16) to 65535. 
Each TCP6MON is allocated one sixteenth of the range between min-ephemeral-
port and max-ephemeral-port. For example, using the defaults, #ZPTM0 is 
allocated 1024-5023, #ZPTM1 is allocated 5024-9023 and so on. See 
Considerations on page 8-48 and Examples on page 8-48.
MAX-PRIV-PORT int
is the largest TCP and UDP port number that needs super user access. The 
default is 1023. The maximum value is one less than the MIN-EPHEMERAL-PORT 
value. Ports between MAX_PRIV_PORT and MIN-EPHEMERAL-PORT are 
available for applications without super group status.
TCPCWNDMULTIPLIER int
is a value that is used to calculate the initial TCP congestion window. The value 
specified in TCPCWNDMULTIPLIER is multiplied by the TCP maximum segment 
size (MSS) to calculate a value for the TCP congestion window. The default value 
for this attribute is 2. The allowed range is 1 through 10. Therefore, on a TCP 
connection, the TCPCWNDMULTIPLIER attribute allows for the setting of an initial 
window value larger or smaller than the default window size (2X maximum 
segment size).
TCPSACKON { ON | OFF }
specifies whether or not all TCP connections use TCP selective 
acknowledgements, unless specifically disabled by an application. ON enables 
selective acknowledgements. OFF disables them. The default value is OFF.
NONSHAREDOUTDIST { ON | OFF } 
specifies whether or not the outbound data paths for connections over nonshared 
IP failover pairs are distributed over both SUBNETs of the failover pair. On enables 
distribution over both SUBNETs. OFF disables it. The default value is OFF.
FAMILY { INET | INET6 | DUAL }
specifies the network mode of the TCP6MON. You can specify these modes:
TCP-MAX-REXMIT-TIMEOUT 
is the maximum time value in milliseconds allowed for a TCP retransmission 
timeout. The default is 64000 milliseconds. The range is 500 to 1200000 (.5 
seconds to 20 minutes).
INET TCP6MON is operated in IPv4 only mode.
INET6 TCP6MON is operated in IPv6 only mode.
DUAL TCP6MON is operated in both IPv4 mode andPv6 mode.
