Disable IPv6 in Windows Server 20008 Full & Core installation
If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to Windows Reference RSS feed Thanks for visiting!IPv6 is enebled by default in Windows Server 2008. If you are not using IPv6 then this can be disabled from the Windows Registry as follows:
Enable/Disable response to ARP request without Unicase Source Ethernet Address
Windows Server 2008/2003, Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2000 by default will respond to ARP requests only if the Ethernet address in an ARP request is unicast. The system will not respond if the incoming ARP request did not have a unicast source ethernet address.
IPv4 packet encapsultation using IEEE 802.3 SNAP in ethernet subnets
By default IPv4 packets are encapsulated on Ethernet subnets in Ethernet II or Ethernet DIX format in Windows server 2008/2003, Windows Vista/XP/2000. However, if you need to use IEEE 802.3 SNAP (Sub-Network Acces Protocol) then this can be done from Windows Registry.
Enable/Disable response to ICMP Type 17 address request messages in local network
Networked Computers can send ICMP Type 17 messages to know the subnet mask of the local network. Only hosts configured to be routers or gateways can respond to these messages. By default Windows hosts do not respond to ICMP Type 17 (Address request) messages as restriced by RFC 1122.
Enable/Disable TCP Task Offloading to NIC in Windows
TCP protocol can offload some of the tasks that are being processed by the system processor like Checksum calculation on header and data or IPSec Tunnel Encryptio (if supported by the NIC) onto the Network Interface Card (NIC). Task offloading is designed to improve performance and it is seen to have indeed significantly improve performance.
