SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING A MAXIMUM PACKET DATA UNIT (PDU) PAYLOAD TRANSMISSION SIZE FOR COMMUNICATING IN A MANAGED COMPUTER NETWORK SYSTEM

摘要

A system and method for substantially preventing firewall generated communication losses in regard to communications by authorized users in a managed computer network system is provided. The method comprises transmitting one or more status inquiry commands to at least one node in the managed computer network system, wherein the status inquiry command requests a first quantity of objects from the at least one node; receiving a non-zero quantity of objects response from the at least one node; and limiting communications through the firewall in the managed computer network system with the at least one node to a message size substantially equivalent to the received non-zero quantity of objects response from the at least one node, thereby substantially preventing firewall generated communication losses in the managed computer network system.
