1.6. Using Network Kernel Tunables with sysctl
Using certain kernel tunables through the
sysctl utility, you can adjust network configuration on a running system and directly affect the networking performance.
To change network settings, use the
sysctl commands. For permanent changes that persist across system restarts, add lines to the /etc/sysctl.conf file.
To display a list of all available
sysctl parameters, enter as root:
~]# sysctl -a
For more details on network kernel tunables using
sysctl, see the Using PTP with Multiple Interfaces section in the System Administrator's Guide.
For more information on network kernel tunables, see the Network Interface Tunables section in the Kernel Administration Guide.
