Optimize your Internet connection (TCP) and maximize your bandwidth in Linux
Posted: May 17th, 2008 | Author: xanda | Filed under: IT Related | Tags: bandwidth, linux, optimize, tcp, tweak | 6 Comments »Simply modify your sysctl file and poof!
sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf |
copy and past the following code at the last line on your sysctl file
# increase TCP max buffer size setable using setsockopt() net.core.rmem_max = 16777216 net.core.wmem_max = 16777216 # increase Linux autotuning TCP buffer limits # min, default, and max number of bytes to use # set max to at least 4MB, or higher if you use very high BDP paths net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 87380 16777216 net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 65536 16777216 # don't cache ssthresh from previous connection net.ipv4.tcp_no_metrics_save = 1 net.ipv4.tcp_moderate_rcvbuf = 1 # recommended to increase this for 1000 BT or higher net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 2500 # for 10 GigE, use this, uncomment below # net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 30000 # Turn off timestamps if you're on a gigabit or very busy network # Having it off is one less thing the IP stack needs to work on #net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0 # disable tcp selective acknowledgements. net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 0 #enable window scaling net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 1 |
tada… now run the following command
sudo sysctl -p |
thanx man.. j00 roxx0r!!
[…] THIS, THIS, THIS, THIS and THIS […]
Thank you !,
Was looking for something like this for Linux, and now even though my internet connection is only 1Mb, saw it as eg. Youtube videos load quickly and seamlessly. From Buenos Aires Miguel thank you for sharing your knowledge. 🙂
@Miguel
