Tune high-speed networks for faster transfers
Authored by: mikebremford on Jun 27, '06 02:02:38AM

I tried this a while back and found that while I was getting slightly higher speeds on the LAN, it also affected large transfers to remote machines. We use "scp" to move files around a lot and the percentage complete scale that normally ticks up smoothly would jump up in large blocks, making it impossible to determine how long a transfer would take. Probably not a big deal for most (and it's quite possible I misconfigured something) but it annoyed me enough to put it back.

Tune high-speed networks for faster transfers

At some point in the past couple of months, I noticed an issue with uploading large binaies via FTP. Downloads were fine. HTTP uploads were OK. ASCII uploads worked. Uploads of binaries via FTP often acted as it they needed to start about 4MB in. It did not cross my mind that this hint may be the culprit. Renaming /etc/sysctl.conf solved my problem.
