Title -d and -r settings for Net.fd
Ref. No. QNX.000009779
Category(ies) Network
Issue What are the differences between the '-d' and '-r' options for Net.fd?
Solution '-d' is used to pass a byte/second rate to Net.fd so it can calculate a reasonable timeout period for tx of a packet.

'-r' is the rate that Net.fd gives to Net so that Net can calculate load balancing if there is more than 1 network interface involved.  '-r' can be ignored if there is only 1 network link to another node.

For more information, check the Net.fd entry in the "QNX OS Utilities - N to Z" manual.  Also be sure to read the  /etc/readme/technotes/Net.fd file.
