[RFE] txqueuelen for plugin_net

Open jcpunk opened this issue 7 years ago • 5 comments

As part of the network tuning for high bandwidth networks it can often be handy to increase the txqueuelen of the interfaces.

Can this be added to the feature set of tuned?

I could also use this.

Question is if it is generic enough to be done across the board or if it is for specific profiles or specific NICs, specific BDP scenarios or other. Can you elaborate?

You can always make your own profile that inherits from ours and adds your site-specific tuning. See the [include] syntax in most of our existing profiles.

My main use case would be with the network throughput (not-latency) profile. Adding my own tuning is a thing I can do, but I'm a bit short on time to whip up the necessary code to add the option to the ini.

i believe this also works, although it seems it could be better placed.

[sysfs]
/sys/class/net/*/tx_queue_len = 5000
