Notes

Network Notes

The DEC DEFPA-MB cards are dual attach station (DAS) FDDI over category 5 twisted pair.
No hubs were employed, each of the 10 networks is connected as a ring using both attachments.
Each network included one card in the SUT and one of the clients.
client 1(prime) on 1st segment, client 2 on 2nd segment, client 3 on 3rd segment, and so on .
MTU size = 4352 bytes

Other Notes

Tested with Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0 and HP NetServer Web Cache v1.0
Performance Boost for Foreground Application=NONE ---Do not raise the priority of the foreground application, default is halfway.
Disable IIS Windows NT Challenge/Response ---Disables IIS user information encryption, default is enabled.
Added Registry Entry Tcpip/Parameters/MaxFreeTcbs=0x53020 ---Increases the TCB timewait table to 340000 entries, default is 2000.
Added Registry Entry Tcpip/Parameters/MaxHashTableSize=0x10000 ---Sets TCB hash table size to 65,536 entries, default is 512.
Added Registry Entry Tcpip/Parameters/TcpTimedWaitDelay=0x3c ---Sets TIME_WAIT parameter to 60 seconds (non-RFC 1122), default is 240.
Set NDIS/Parameters/ProcessorAffinityMask to 0 ---Forces processor that handled interrupt to also handle that DPC, default is any processor.
One 4GB 7200RPM disk for OS, 4 4GB 10KRPM disk for web pages and logs and pagefile.
Network interrupts affinitized as follows: NICs 1 and 5 to processor 0, NICs 2 and 6 to 1, NICs 3 and 7 to 2 and NICs 4 and 8 to 3,
NIC 9 to 2 and 3 and NIC 10 to 3.
