[window Size] How to change window size

 

Tune values

Set the max OS send buffer size (wmem) and receive buffer size (rmem) to 12 MB for queues on all protocols. In other words set the amount of memory that is allocated for each TCP socket when it is opened or created while transferring files:

WARNING! The default value of rmem_max and wmem_max is about 128 KB in most Linux distributions, which may be enough for a low-latency general purpose network environment or for apps such as DNS / Web server. However, if the latency is large, the default size might be too small. Please note that the following settings going to increase memory usage on your server.

# echo 'net.core.wmem_max=12582912' >> /etc/sysctl.conf

# echo 'net.core.rmem_max=12582912' >> /etc/sysctl.conf



You also need to set minimum size, initial size, and maximum size in bytes:

# echo 'net.ipv4.tcp_rmem= 10240 87380 12582912' >> /etc/sysctl.conf

# echo 'net.ipv4.tcp_wmem= 10240 87380 12582912' >> /etc/sysctl.conf
