SPECweb99 Tuning Options Disclosure for AIX 4.3.3 ------------------------------------------------- Network Options (no) tuning: ---------------------------- send_file_duration = 180000 Specifies the cache validation duration for all the file objects that system call send_file accessed in the Network Buffer Cache. This attribute is in number of seconds; the default is 300 (5 minutes). A value of 0 means that the cache will be validated for every access. sb_max = 262144 Specifies the maximum buffer size allowed for a socket. The default is 65,536 bytes. somaxconn = 8192 Specifies the maximum listen backlog. The default is 1024 bytes. nbc_max_cache = 131072 Specifies the maximum size of a cache object allowed in the Network Buffer Cache, in bytes. The default is 1048576 (1024K) bytes. Data objects bigger than this size won't be put in the NBC. nbc_pseg = 20000 The maximum number of file entries in the private segment. The default is 0. tcp_timewait = 5 The tcp_timewait option is used to configure how long connections are kept in the timewait state. It is given in 15 second intervals, and the default is 1. delayack = 3 Delays ACKs for certain TCP packets and attempts to piggyback them with the next packet sent instead. This will only be performed for connections whose destination port is specified in the list of the delayackports attribute. This can be used to increase performance when communicating with an HTTP server. The attribute can have one of four values: 0 No delays; normal operation 1 Delay the ACK for the server's SYN 2 Delay the ACK for the server's FIN 3 Delay both the ACKs for the SYN and FIN delayackports = {80} Specifies the list of destination ports for which the operation defined by the delayack port option will be performed. The attribute takes a list of up to ten ports, separated by commas and enclosed in curly braces. To clear the list set the option to {}.
