Tunable parameters

Tunable parameters

This topic discusses the difference between internet (TCP/IP) and kernel tunable parameters, and provides information about how to display or change parameter values. A description and minimum, maximum and default values are given for each tunable parameter.

Adjusting these parameters can have a significant impact on system performance, both positive and negative. Think carefully about how your computer is used, analyze its current performance, and consider other performance factors (such as filesystem organization, sticky bits, and $PATH efficiency) before tuning the kernel.
