NAME
       ndd - network tuning

SYNOPSIS
       network_device parameter

       network_device parameter value

       [parameter]

DESCRIPTION
       The command allows the examination and modification of several tunable parameters that affect networking operation and behavior. It accepts
       arguments on the command line or may be run interactively.

       The option displays all the supported and unsupported tunable parameters that provides in the following categories: ARP, IP,  IPSEC,  IPV6,
       IPV6 Neighbor Discovery (ND), RAWIP, RAWIP6, SOCKET, TCP, and UDP.

       The  tunable parameters in each category may be accessed with the proper valid network_device name.  The network_device name is referred to
       as in

       The valid network_device names (and their associated parameter categories) are:
	      (ARP),
	      (IP and IPSEC),
	      (IPV6, IPV6 Neighbor Discovery, and IPSEC v6),
	      (RAWIP),
	      (RAWIP6),
	      (SOCKET),
	      (TCP), and
	      (UDP).

       Set parameter to to get a list of parameters for a particular network_device.

       Get the value of the
			   parameter for network_device and print the value to standard output.  Returned numbers are always displayed as  decimal
			   strings.

       Set		   parameter for network_device to value.

			   All	times  are  specified  in  milliseconds;  for example, 240000 for 4 minutes.  Unless stated otherwise, numbers are
			   assumed to be in decimal. Use "0x" prefix to specify hexadecimal values.

			   In general, all tunable parameters are global; in other words, they affect all instances of the  network  module.  Some
			   settings  take  effect immediately, while others are used to initialize data for an instance and will only affect newly
			   opened streams.

       Display all the supported tunable parameters.
			   This set of parameters are supported by HP and detailed descriptions of these tunable parameters are available  through
			   the parameter command.

       Display all the unsupported tunable parameters.
			   This  set of parameters are not supported by HP and modification of these tunable parameters are not suggested nor rec-
			   ommended.  Setting any unsupported tunable parameters on your system may result in adverse effects to  your	networking
			   operations.

       When		   parameter  is  specified, a detail description of the parameter, along with its minimum, maximum, and default value are
			   displayed.  If no parameter is specified, it displays all supported and unsupported tunable parameters.

       Read input from the configuration file
			   and set the tunable parameters.  A user may specify tunable parameters in the nddconf  configuration  file,	and  these
			   parameters will be set automatically each time the system boots.

DIAGNOSTICS
       When the command fails, an error message is printed to the standard error and the command terminates with an exit value of one.

WARNINGS
       Care  must  be  used  when  setting  parameters	for a network_device.  Setting a tunable parameter to an inappropriate value can result in
       adverse affects to your networking operations.

EXAMPLES
       To get help information on all supported tunable parameters:

       To get a detail description of the tunable parameter,

       To get a list of all TCP related parameters:

       To get the current value of the tunable parameter,

       To set the value of the default TTL parameter for UDP to 128:

FILES
       Contains tunable parameters that will be set automatically each time the system boots.
