The network packet size used by jConnect to communicate with Adaptive Server is now based on the default network packet size provided by the Adaptive Server. This is negotiated as part of the login process. In previous versions, the drivers would default to 512 bytes as the packet size.
This new process allows you to configure the network packet size used by applications centrally in the Adaptive Server. Increased packet size requires less I/O and potentially improves performance. If you have memory restrictions on the client, you can set the PACKETSIZE connection property to the maximum memory allowable for network buffers.
