This sets the maximum packet size that can be negotiated for a client connection. Without this parameter, the maximum packet size defaults to 2048. If you increase the packet size used in ASE through sp_configure (using “ctlib packet size”) to a value greater than 2048, you need to set this value to match.
Do not set this parameter larger than necessary, because this amount of memory is allocated whether used or not. The maximum packet size supported is 32,256 bytes. The syntax is:
max_packetsize = 4096
This parameter is static.
