OS: Tuning Network
Sumber: http://wwwx.cs.unc.edu/~sparkst/howto/network_tuning.php
How To: Network / TCP / UDP Tuning This is a very basic step by step description of how to improve the performance networking (TCP & UDP) on Linux 2.4+ for high-bandwidth applications. These settings are especially important for GigE links. Jump to Quick Step or All The Steps. Assumptions This howto assumes that the machine being tuned is involved in supporting high-bandwidth applications. Making these modifications on a machine that supports multiple users and/or multiple connections is not recommended - it may cause the machine to deny connections because of a lack of memory allocation. The Steps
Make sure that you have root privleges.
Type: sysctl -p | grep mem This will display your current buffer settings. Save These! You may want to roll-back these changes
Type: sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=8388608 This sets the max OS receive buffer size for all types of connections.
Type: sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=8388608 This sets the max OS send buffer size for all types of connections.
Type: sysctl -w net.core.rmem_default=65536 This sets the default OS receive buffer size for all types of connections.
Type: sysctl -w net.core.wmem_default=65536 This sets the default OS send buffer size for all types of connections.
Type: sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_mem='8388608 8388608 8388608' TCP Autotuning setting. "The tcp_mem variable defines how the TCP stack should behave when it comes to memory usage. ... The first value specified in the tcp_mem variable tells the kernel the low threshold. Below this point, the TCP stack do not bother at all about putting any pressure on the memory usage by different TCP sockets. ... The second value tells the kernel at which point to start pressuring memory usage down. ... The final value tells the kernel how many memory pages it may use maximally. If this value is reached, TCP streams and packets start getting dropped until we reach a lower memory usage again. This value includes all TCP sockets currently in use."
Type: sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem='4096 87380 8388608' TCP Autotuning setting. "The first value tells the kernel the minimum receive buffer for each TCP connection, and this buffer is always allocated to a TCP socket, even under high pressure on the system. ... The second value specified tells the kernel the default receive buffer allocated for each TCP socket. This value overrides the /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_default value used by other protocols. ... The third and last value specified in this variable specifies the maximum receive buffer that can be allocated for a TCP socket."
Type: sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_wmem='4096 65536 8388608' TCP Autotuning setting. "This variable takes 3 different values which holds information on how much TCP sendbuffer memory space each TCP socket has to use. Every TCP socket has this much buffer space to use before the buffer is filled up. Each of the three values are used under different conditions. ... The first value in this variable tells the minimum TCP send buffer space available for a single TCP socket. ... The second value in the variable tells us the default buffer space allowed for a single TCP socket to use. ... The third value tells the kernel the maximum TCP send buffer space."
Type:sysctl -w net.ipv4.route.flush=1 This will enusre that immediatly subsequent connections use these values.
Quick Step Cut and paste the following into a linux shell with root privleges:
sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=8388608 sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=8388608 sysctl -w net.core.rmem_default=65536 sysctl -w net.core.wmem_default=65536 sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem='4096 87380 8388608' sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_wmem='4096 65536 8388608' sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_mem='8388608 8388608 8388608' sysctl -w net.ipv4.route.flush=1

Feedback Please send me some feedback on how this worked for you. I'd be happy to help you figure it out on yours. I've used these or similar settings for a number of high-bandwidth applications with great results.
