NFS over TCP

Hello Admins,

We're runnning a 2 member, T64 version 4.0f (patch 3), ASE1.6 cluster.
In order to achieve some load balancing, the application requires that data
be shared via NFS services between members acrossed a Fast Ethernet private
network.

We are currently using NFS version3 over UDP. But I have read that we could
gain some performance by using TCP.
NFS over TCP is supported in this version of ASE, but I was wondering if
there were any known issues to using TCP. Will it really improve performance?

I understand that all that is required to use TCP is use the -proto=tcp in
the nfs mount command.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks.

John
