Way back in 1995, on this list, Eero Laurila of HP CSY Networking lab
posted the following recommendation:
--------------------
What I typically do on my systems (and would pretty much recommend for
almost every system out there), is to configure NMMGR values as
follows:
========================================================================
[1 ] Retransmission Interval Lower Bound (Secs)
[300 ] Maximum Time to Wait For Remote Response (Sec)
[2 ] Initial Retransmission Interval (Secs)
[6 ] Maximum Retransmissions per Packet
========================================================================
---------------------
We have been passing on that recommendation since then, and I have not
heard of any problems. Still sounds like good advice to me,
