After a Slashdot entry, I discovered an interesting series of blog posts by Jim Gettys. The series starts http://gettys.wordpress.com/2010/10/02/first-puzzle-piece/ (unlike Slashdot which linked to a random place in the middle).

I checked out my txqueuelen in my desktop (its one interface is set 100) and my server/router (both interfaces are set to 1000)

Both are running Debian Squeeze - with the desktop getting its ip info via dhcp (using dnsmasq on the server) where as the server/router has its ip address aquired via dhcp on the wan side from my ISP, and is static on the home lan side.

I can obviously (at least according to one of the blog entries) change the txqueuelen manually to some other value, but how do you set such entries permenantly in Debian - and what is controlling that value - why are they different between my server and desktop?

I poked around in /etc/networking, but can't find anything that might affect it their.
