I am working with an Oracle database in client server mode. There is a parameter in Oracle Net8 (SDU) that allows me to specify the size of the block that Net8 will send over the network. Even thought I am specifying a value larger than 2048, I can see that TCP limit me to 2048. Oracle tells me it is probably because of the way we are set up in our shop. Where should I look for?

Limit of 2048 bytes TCP block size

Sounds like the window size. Leave is at 2048 assuming your network is a good one. This is the size of a single frame. If you set it at 32k (if you could) and that frame gets corrupt or mislaid then it needs retransmitting, hence everything slows down.
