Operating System Tuning
In any high-load environment, the network must be closely monitored to ensure that its performance is acceptable and consistent. Note that, the following is not to suggest that all network parameters are set to these values, but merely make the reader aware that the network is also an entity in the performance environment and bottleneck resolution process.

Use smitty->Performance and Resource Scheduling->Tuning Kernel and Network Parameters->Tuning Network Option Parameters->Change/Show Current Parameters to change. These will take effect immediately, improving the network layer performance in high volume environments.
Then remember to ‘Save current parameters for NextBoot’.
