HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\(Network adapters) {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\WAN Miniport (L2TP) <Device-number (000n)>

Data type Range Default value
REG_DWORD 0x0 - 0xFFFFFFFF messages 0x8

Description

Specifies the suggested value for the maximum number of control messages that can be held in the local receive window.

The value of this entry is sent to a peer in a Receive Window Attribute-Value Pair (AVP) message during tunnel negotiation. It is intended to suggest to the peer that they should increase the size of the receive window from its typical value of 4 control messages. This value is only a guideline; the driver does not enforce the value.

If the value of this entry is 0x0, the L2TP driver does not send a Receive Window AVP message during tunnel negotiation. As a result, the peer assumes a receive window size of 4 messages.
