The networking performance of a Linux system can be improved by tuning the network stack buffers sizes. The buffer sizes can be adjusted using the sysctl<\/code> command.<\/p>\n

Here are the steps to tune the network stack buffers size:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open a terminal or shell prompt on your Linux system.<\/li>\n
  2. Verify that the net.core.rmem_max<\/code>, net.core.wmem_max<\/code>, net.ipv4.tcp_rmem<\/code>, and net.ipv4.tcp_wmem<\/code> values are set to the maximum buffer size:\n
    \n
    <\/div>\n
    sysctl net.core.rmem_max
    \nsysctl net.core.wmem_max
    \nsysctl net.ipv4.tcp_rmem
    \nsysctl net.ipv4.tcp_wmem
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    If any of these values are set to a lower value, you can increase them. For example, to increase the net.core.rmem_max<\/code> value to 16MB, you can run:<\/p>\n

    \n
    <\/div>\n
    sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=16777216
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  3. Set the minimum buffer size for the network stack. The minimum buffer size is set to the maximum buffer size multiplied by the number of buffers. For example, to set the minimum buffer size to 32MB for the net.core.rmem_max<\/code> and net.core.wmem_max<\/code> values, and to 16MB for the net.ipv4.tcp_rmem<\/code> and net.ipv4.tcp_wmem<\/code> values, you can run:\n
    \n
    <\/div>\n
    sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=33554432<\/span>
    \nsysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=33554432<\/span>
    \nsysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem=\"16384 33554432 33554432\"<\/span>
    \nsysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_wmem=\"16384 33554432 33554432\"<\/span>
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    This will set the minimum buffer size to 32MB for the net.core.rmem_max<\/code> and net.core.wmem_max<\/code> values, and to 16MB for the net.ipv4.tcp_rmem<\/code> and net.ipv4.tcp_wmem<\/code> values.<\/li>\n

  4. Verify that the changes have been applied:\n
    \n
    <\/div>\n
    sysctl net.core.rmem_max
    \nsysctl net.core.wmem_max
    \nsysctl net.ipv4.tcp_rmem
    \nsysctl net.ipv4.tcp_wmem
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  5. Save the changes so that they are applied at boot time. You can add the sysctl<\/code> commands to the \/etc\/sysctl.conf<\/code> file:\n
    \n
    <\/div>\n
    echo \"net.core.rmem_max = 33554432\"<\/span> >> \/etc\/<\/span>sysctl.conf<\/span>
    \necho \"net.core.wmem_max = 33554432\"<\/span> >> \/etc\/<\/span>sysctl.conf<\/span>
    \necho \"net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 16384 33554432 33554432\"<\/span> >> \/etc\/<\/span>sysctl.conf<\/span>
    \necho \"net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 16384 33554432 33554432\"<\/span> >> \/etc\/<\/span>sysctl.conf<\/span>
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    This will add the sysctl<\/code> commands to the end of the \/etc\/sysctl.conf<\/code> file.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
