There are a few network parameters that can be tuned to better match
|
||||
the kernel to your system hardware and intended usage. The defaults
|
||||
are usually a good choice for 99% of the people 99% of the time, but
|
||||
you should be aware they do exist and can be changed.
|
||||
|
||||
The current list of parameters can be found in the files:
|
||||
|
||||
linux/net/TUNABLE
|
||||
Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt
|
||||
|
||||
Some of these are accessible via the sysctl interface, and many more are
|
||||
scheduled to be added in this way. For example, some parameters related
|
||||
to Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) are very easily viewed and altered.
|
||||
|
||||
# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/arp_timeout
|
||||
6000
|
||||
# echo 7000 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/arp_timeout
|
||||
# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/arp_timeout
|
||||
7000
|
||||
|
||||
Others are already accessible via the related user space programs.
|
||||
For example, MAX_WINDOW has a default of 32 k which is a good choice for
|
||||
modern hardware, but if you have a slow (8 bit) Ethernet card and/or a slow
|
||||
machine, then this will be far too big for the card to keep up with fast
|
||||
machines transmitting on the same net, resulting in overruns and receive errors.
|
||||
A value of about 4 k would be more appropriate, which can be set via:
|
||||
|
||||
# route add -net 192.168.3.0 window 4096
|
||||
|
||||
The remainder of these can only be presently changed by altering a #define
|
||||
in the related header file. This means an edit and recompile cycle.
