The Advanced tab is used for enabling or
disabling Nagle's Algorithm and setting the a National Replacement
Character Set if so desired.
- Nagle Algorithm
- Nagle's Algorithm provides a means of dealing with the small packet
problem that is created when an application generates data one byte
at a time, causing the network to be overloaded with packets. A single
character - one byte of data - originating from a keyboard could result
in the transmission of a 41 byte packet consisting of one byte of
useful information and 40 bytes of header data. Most networks have
support for Nagle's Algorithm tuned on by default. This feature can
be turned off through use of the TCP_NODELAY sockets option. When
TCP_NODELAY is selected, Nagle's Algorithm is disabled.
- Disable (TCP_NODELAY On): Selecting this
option results in Nagle's Algorithm being turned off.
- Enable (TCP_NODELAY Off): Selecting this
options results in Nagle's Algorithm being turned on.
- National Replacement Character Set
- Manually sets the National Replacement Character Set. Most host
applications automatically set the correct National Replacement Character
Set to match the required language. In some cases the host application
assumes that the character set is already selected.
If the wrong
National Replacement Character Set is selected, you notice that certain
characters, like accented characters, are displayed incorrectly.
If this happens, select the desired country's National Replacement
Character Set from the drop-down list box.
