The NumForwardPackets parameter specifies the number of IP packet headers allocated for the router packet queue. This should be at least as large as the value of the ForwardBufferMemory property divided by the maximum IP data size of the networks connected to the router. It should be no larger than the ForwardBufferMemory value divided by 256, since at least 256 bytes of forward buffer memory are required by each packet. The optimal number of forward packets for a given ForwardBufferMemory size depends on the type of traffic carried on the network, and will be somewhere between these two values. If the router is disabled, this parameter is ignored and no headers are allocated. Valid Range: 1 - 0xFFFFFFFE.
