Performance Tuning

Some Important settings for sysctl
Already showed tcp_window_scaling issue
By default, Linux networking not tuned for max performance,
more for reliability
Buffers are especially not tuned for local 10GbE traffic
Remember that Linux “autotunes” buffers for connections
Don't forget UDP !
Try via command line
When you are happy with the results, add to /etc/sysctl.conf
Look at documentation in /usr/src
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.18/linux-2.6.18.x86_64/Documentation/networking
