Welcome to the Network Tuning Guide! This guide will help you understand how to optimize your network settings for better performance and reliability.
What is Network Tuning?
Network tuning refers to the process of adjusting your network settings to improve its performance. This can include modifying TCP/IP settings, adjusting buffer sizes, and optimizing routing tables.
Common Network Tuning Techniques
Here are some common techniques for network tuning:
- Adjusting TCP/IP Settings: You can modify TCP/IP settings such as the TCP window size and the TCP timeout to improve network performance.
- Increasing Buffer Sizes: Increasing buffer sizes can help with handling large amounts of network traffic.
- Optimizing Routing Tables: Ensuring your routing tables are up to date can improve network reliability.
Example: Adjusting TCP Window Size
One of the most common network tuning techniques is adjusting the TCP window size. The TCP window size determines how much data can be sent before an acknowledgment is required.
To adjust the TCP window size, you can use the following command:
sudo sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=4194304
sudo sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=4194304
