hi folks, can someone give/point some tips for tuning the tcp/ip stack on a linux box for handling really large number of connections...? how would this tuning be different from tuning for fast routing?
disclaimers: 1) i'm searching myself on the net and i hve a few ideas...just want to know if someone here has done something like this and what is their experience. 2) i'm not looking for commercial support
regds, kishor

W Richard Steven's books(TCP/IP Illustrated and UNIX N/W Programming) has lots of answers. There are no quick fix solutions. Most of the decisions are tradeoffs between one parameter or the other. So you will need to understand the consequences before tuning.

Depends upon whether QoS is enabled while routing.
