TcpTimedWaitDelay

Key: Tcpip\Parameters Value Type: REG_DWORDtime in seconds Valid Range: 30-300 (decimal) Default: 0x78 (120 decimal) Description: This value determines the length of time that a connection stays in the TIME_WAIT state when being closed. While a connection is in the TIME_WAIT state, the socket pair cannot be reused. This is also known as the 2MSL state because the value should be twice the maximum segment lifetime on the network. For more information, see RFC 793.

TcpUseRFC1122UrgentPointer
Key: Tcpip\Parameters Value Type: REG_DWORDBoolean Valid Range: 0, 1 (false, true) Default: 0 (false) Description: This value determines whether TCP uses RFC 793 or RFC 1122 to interpret the value of the Urgent Pointer field in the TCP header. RFC 793 defines the value as indicating the first byte of normal data. RFC 1122 defines the value as indicating the last byte of urgent data. These two interpretations are not interoperable. Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 TCP/IP defaults to the RFC 793 interpretation (used by BSD-derived systems).

TypeOfInterface
Key: Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\interfaceGUID Value Type: REG_DWORD Valid Range: 0, 1, 2, 3 Default: 0 (allow multicast and unicast) Description: This value determines whether the interface gets routes plumbed for unicast, multicast, or both traffic types, and whether those traffic types can be forwarded. If it is set to 0, both unicast and multicast traffic are allowed. If it is set to 1, unicast traffic is disabled. If it is set to 2, multicast traffic is disabled. If it set to 3, both unicast and multicast traffic are disabled. Since this value affects forwarding and routes, it may still be possible for a local application to send multicasts out over an interface, if there are no other interfaces in the computer that are enabled for multicast, and a default route exists.

UseZeroBroadcast
Key: Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\interfaceGUID Value Type: REG_DWORDBoolean Valid Range: 0, 1 (false, true) Default: 0 (false) Description: If this value is set to 1 (true), IPv4 will use the all 0s address for the limited broadcast address (0.0.0.0) instead of the all 1s address (255.255.255.255). Most systems use the all 1s broadcasts, but some systems derived from BSD implementations use the all 0s broadcasts. Systems

that use different addresses for the limited broadcast address will not interoperate on the same subnet.

Settings Configurable from the User Interface

The following settings are created and modified automatically by configuring properties of the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) component from the Network Connections folder. There should be no need to configure them directly in the registry.

DefaultGateway
Key: Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\interfaceGUID Value Type: REG_MULTI_SZlist of dotted decimal IP addresses Valid Range: Any set of valid IP addresses Default: None Description: This value specifies the list of gateways to be used to route packets that are not destined for a subnet that the computer is directly connected to, and for which a more specific route does not exist. There is only one active default gateway for the computer at any time, so adding multiple addresses is only done for redundancy.

InterfaceMetric
Key: Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\interfaceGUID Value Type: REG_DWORDnumber Valid Range: 1-9999 Description: This value specifies a fixed interface metric for an interface.

IPAddress
Key: Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\interfaceGUID Value Type: REG_MULTI_SZlist of dotted-decimal IPv4 addresses Valid Range: Any set of valid IPv4 addresses Default: None Description: This value specifies the IPv4 addresses of the IPv4 interfaces to be bound to the adapter. If the first address in the list is 0.0.0.0, the primary interface on the adapter is configured using DHCP. A system with more than one IPv4 interface for an adapter is logically multihomed. There must be a valid subnet mask value in the SubnetMask value for each IPv4 address that is specified in this value. To add addresses with the Registry Editor tool, select this key and type the list of IPv4 addresses, pressing Enter after each one. Then, modify the SubnetMask value, and type a corresponding list of subnet masks.
