Increasing the value of the parameter allows you to cache larger amounts of data, thereby increasing performance and also memory use.
Syntax | cache buffers size=number |
|
|
Default | Media maximum minus 64 bytes |
| (For example, Ethernet: 1500 - 64 = 1436) |
| See the manufacturer’s documentation for the |
| cache buffer size for your media type. |
|
|
Range | 64 to 4096 bytes |

Modules | FIO.VLM |

Example | To cache larger amounts of data than the default allows, |
| you could place the following lines in your NET.CFG file: |
