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
