[firebase-br] Servidores win 2000e 2003 - parte 8

[Valdir Marcos]

Pessoal, bom dia.

Na documentação do IB6 e na internet eu achei um conjunto de informações sobre o FB em servidores, em especial, sobre o Win NT.
Alguém poderia me dizer se essas informações que passarei nas próximas mensagens são válidas também para os servidores win 2000 e 2003?

O IPX/SPX está obsoleto, sempre dizem que o NetBEUI não é tão bom quanto o TCP/IP, mas existem alguma novidade melhor nessa área de protocolos?
Existe alguma maneira de turbinar o TCP/IP para redes de tamanho pequeno e médio?

Obrigado,

Valdir Marcos




Choosing a network protocol

InterBase supports three protocols: NetBEUI when connecting

IPX/SPX when connecting to a Novell NetWare server, and TCP/

any server. See "Network protocols" on page 65 for more details.

4NetBEUI and IPX/SPX

You can use NetBEUI on a network with fewer than 20 users, and

with fewer than 400 users, without significant performance costs.

more active users on your network simultaneously.

NetBEUI and IPX/SPX are network protocols designed for use

networks. These protocols are commonly used for filesharing

connectionless protocols, which means they broadcast packets

causes a growing amount of "noise" on a LAN. Noise, from the

host, can be defined as network traffic that is not intended for

with many hosts, enabling NetBEUI or IPX/SPX can overwhelm

the available bandwidth for everyone to use. On most enterprise

4TCP/IP

TCP/IP is a connection-based protocol, which means packets

recipient. This reduces the saturation of the network and the

There is effectively more bandwidth available to all hosts, and

can share the same network with less performance penalty.
