Peter,

    I've messed with TDU and SDU over the years with mixed and often
unpredictable results.  TCP.NODELAY has caused some very quirky problems with
applications especially when mixed with large values for TDU/SDU.  If you do set
TDU/SDU set them equal to each other, doing otherwise has again produced some
quirky and intermittent problems, like applications appearing to hang or timeout
all together.  What your trying to control is your server and client's use of
the TCP/IP layer.  Now if this particular application uses a local database,
like our WorkManager CAD application, then these will have no effect since
SQL*Net is basically not involved.

We have third party CAD application called VPM which
we are using to organize 3d engineering models.  It
uses an Oracle database to store some information on
locations of models and relationships between parts.
We are having some performance problems which seem to
point to the database access.  With sql tracing turned on,
we determined that one of the operations in question
used more than 1700 sql statements.

The consultant we work with is suggesting that we try to
improve the Net8 throughput either by seting tcp.nodelay
or by adjusting the size of the Session Data Unit.  A quick look
at the Net8 manual suggests that both of these could potentially
improve throughput by forcing packets to be sent out sooner
instead of blocking several requests/responses together.

Does anyone have any experience with these settings?

Any suggestions as to what settings to try as a start?

Thanks,
