TCP-Tuning
Sommaire
TCP Performance
This page describes how to enhance the performance of data transfers. It mainly focus on the optimization of the Linux kernel parameters.
Quattor
The Quattor TCP Tuning guide aims to be a good documentation for helping you tuning your TCP Performance with Quattor.
Kernel parameters
The following are important for TCP tuning:
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem
net.core.rmem_default
net.core.wmem_default
net.core.rmem_max
net.core.wmem_max
net.ipv4.tcp_dsack
net.ipv4.tcp_sack
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps
net.core.netdev_max_backlog
They can be modified with:
- Quattor ;
- YAIM ;
- Manually by modifying the
/etc/sysctl.conf
file.
Recommended values
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 131072 1048576 2097152
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 131072 1048576 2097152
net.core.rmem_default = 1048576
net.core.wmem_default = 1048576
net.core.rmem_max = 2097152
net.core.wmem_max = 2097152
net.ipv4.tcp_dsack = 0
net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 0
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0
net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 10000
