It was initially implemented to help bypass some platforms per-process file-descriptor limitations. In *very rare* situations, increasing it can help getting better performance, but the drawbacks of using it are generally not worth it. Since you're running in a virtualized environment, you're not in a situation where raw performance matters so I'm pretty confident you'll never need it there. > I will run tcpdump in the background for a few hours to try and see if > there is major network latency. OK. Don't delete the trace, you may find many other indications of your issues there. Regards, Willy
