Chapter 2 25
OS Platform and Version Compatibility
The version of the X.25 link software you’re installing must be
compatible with the version of HP-UX you’re running (for example,
HP-UX version 11i v3 for B.11.31.01)
• Disk space required to install: 7 Mb
• Software install with system up or down? Up
• Single-user state required or recommended? No
• Reboot? Yes
Memory
Your X.25 link supports a high number of virtual circuits operating at
high baud rates. Since both X.25 and the BSD sockets API may store a
certain amount of data for each socket/circuit, HP recommends that you
check that your system has enough memory to handle the number of VCs
you plan to use. A few guidelines to help you are provided below.
Related Parameters
• Level 3 window size (W in formulas below) as configured in the
x25config file
• Level 3 packet size (P in formulas below) as configured in X.25
configuration file
• Socket buffer size (B in formulas below) used in your applications
(setsockopt() system call). The default is 4 Kb.
Evaluation Formulas The following formulas can be used to evaluate
X.25 memory requirements:
Memory for each VC (MVC) in bytes:
MVC = (B x 3) + (2 x (W + 1) x P)
Total Memory (TM) for X.25 in bytes:
TM = sum (MVC) + Number of cards x 5120
NOTE These figures are only for protocol and API requirements. You should
also consider the memory required by your applications.
