TCP Settings

To tune the TCP/IP settings, follow these steps:

  1. Add the following entry to /etc/rc.local:


    echo 30 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fin_timeout
          echo 60 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time
          echo 75 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_intvl
          echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling
  2. Add the following to /etc/sysctl.conf:


          net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1204 65000
          net.core.rmem_max = 8388608
          net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 131072 8388608
          net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 131072 8388608
          net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 0
          net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0
          net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 0
          net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time = 60
          net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl = 75
          net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout = 30
  3. Add the following as the last entry in /etc/rc.local:

    sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf

  4. Reboot the system.
