Article #25551: Does InterBase set the remote buffer size?

Problem:
Does InterBase set the remote buffer size?

Solution:
InterBase 5.0, 5.11
--------------------------
Yes.  The remote buffer size is hardcoded in InterBase.  The size for tcp/ip 
is set to 1448 bytes.

InterBase 5.5 and later
-------------------
The remote buffer size is now configurable in the isc_config file as such:

TCS_REMOTE_BUFFER NNNN

where NNNN is a value between 1448 - 32768 

The client and server both read the entry from isc_config file and sets up the
remote send and receive buffer to the value specified.  If the value specified is
not with in the range or not specified at all, then the buffer size defaults to 8K i.e. 8192.
