Hi all,

Recently I resorted to tuning my nginx webserver box for more performance.
I went ahead an changed

sudo ip route change default via 1.25.29.1 dev eth0 initcwnd 10

sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_slow_start_after_idle=0

This changed exposed a much better performance than anticipated. And since
most of my pages are httpd cached, the load times went down from 2.3 – 3
seconds to 1.5-2 seconds

While browsing I came across another
benchmarkinghttp://lowlatencyweb.wordpress.com/2012/03/20/500000-requestssec-modern-http-servers-are-fast/

echo "2048 64512" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range

echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_recycle

echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_reuse

echo "10" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fin_timeout



echo "65536" > /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn

echo "65536" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_max_syn_backlog



echo "262144" > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_max




worker_processes 16;

worker_rlimit_nofile 262144;



daemon off;



events {

use epoll;

worker_connections 16384;

}



error_log error.log;

pid /dev/null;



http {

sendfile on;

tcp_nopush on;



keepalive_requests 100;



open_file_cache max=100;



gzip off;

gzip_min_length 1024;



access_log off;



server {

listen *:8080 backlog=16384;



location / {

root html;

index index.html;

}

}

}



But the type of machines that the tester has used does not allow me to
believe the results.

Have someone else gone along the same path? Are these system variable
changes recommended by the nginx community?
