Chris,<br><br>Thanks for that. The idea that an application could potentially work around system-wide settings is intriguing, but the description of setsockopt() does not seem to indicate the possibility to set send and/or receive windows size, which are the parameters in question:<br>

The reason why it is, is because the topic of performance of TCP applications over "long fat pipe" type of transmission infrastructure keeps on coming up from customers I land up dealing with (indirectly) in a pretty persistent fashion.<br>

Handled on the OS level by default, yes. The application can do something about it though, using t<font face="'Segoe UI', Verdana, Arial">he "setssockopt" function, which sets it on a per-socket basis IIRC.</font></blockquote>
