Page 26

To Increase TCP/IP Performance

As superuser, type:

#ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_xmit_hiwat 65535

#ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_recv_hiwat 65535

#ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_cwnd_max 65534

The changes will take effect immediately and affect all system networking interfaces.

Forcing Network Speed Between 10 Mbps and

100 Mbps

To Force Network Speed Between 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps

1.At the ok prompt, use the show-devscommand to list the system devices. The full path name of the hme device, similar to this example, is displayed:

/pci@1f,2000/SUNW,hme@1,1

2. Type:

ok nvedit

3.Type the following, pressing the Return key at the end of line 0:

0:probe-all install-console banner

1:apply transfer-speed=10<full path name of the hme device>

4.Press the Control-C keys after typing <full path name of the hme device>.

Note In the above example, the speed is forced to 10 Mbps. To force the speed to 100 Mbps, replace 10 with 100.
