Peer-to-peer Communication Overview Chapter 16
Peer-to-peer Protocol
Parameters All peer-to-peer protocol parameters are displayed in the Peer-to-Peer
Editor. With the exception of the ResponseTime and the ReceiveTMO,
which have to be configured by the user, all other peer-to-peer
protocol parameters are automatically preset with the selection of a
peer-to-peer profile. See
Configure Peer-to-peer Communication on
page 184 for detailed instructions on how to configure the
peer-to-peer protocol.
Message Response Time (ReponseTime)
ResponseTime is the user-configurable time it takes to receive an
acknowledgement of a sent message from the recipient.
The ResponseTime is not a freely configurable parameter, but results
from the physical conditions of the communication path and the
configuration of the network protocol.
Because the ResponseTime influences the speed of message
exchange, a test run is recommended to investigate network timing.
Use the P2P Status tab, in the Control Panel to display the minimum,
maximum, and average ResponseTime.
