Remote Devices
8.4 Monitoring and Tuning Network Performance
The pipeline quota is an NCP executor parameter. The line receive buffers setting is an NCP line
parameter.
The following procedure shows how to display and change these parameters in the permanent
DECnet database. These changes should be made on each node of the network.

Result:
NCP>define executor pipeline quota 45000
NCP>show known lines

Receive buffers = 6 define line sva-0 receive buffers 30
NCP>exit
Requirement:
For the changed parameters to take effect, the node must be rebooted or DECnet must be shut
down.
