Just as a head up - this sort of below should not be done on things like web servers that support lots of concurrent connections - you'll eat all your memory for sockets.


Unless you have something like FreeBSD�s auto-tuning inflight window stuff which
would allow large windows to be allocated only when the delay*bandwidth product
justifies it.

Is there anyone in a production environment who, as part of their system

As a concrete data point:
the tuning below on Solaris 9 increased the TCP data transfer rates from
SJC to NYC by a factor of 10:
(i.e. from 2 to about 20Mbps with ftp; 1 to 11Mbps with scp.)

ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_recv_hiwat 400000
ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_xmit_hiwat 400000
ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_wscale_always 1
ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_max_buf 10485760
