Other Notes

Using Microsoft Scalable Web Cache 1.1 with Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0
Performance Boost for Foreground Application=NONE ---Do not raise the priority of the foreground application, default is halfway.
IIS settings: listen port 81, logging disabled, expected hits fewer than 10000, no ISAPI filters, disable NT challenge/response.
IIS Home Directory: Access for “Read” and “Directory Browsing Allowed” only, Application Settings permissions "none".
Added Registry Entry Tcpip/Parameters/MaxHashTableSize=0x10000 ---Sets TCB hash table size to 65,536 entries, default is 512.
Added Registry Entry Tcpip/Parameters/MaxUserPort=0xfffe
Added Registry Entry Tcpip/Parameters/TcpTimedWaitDelay=0x3c ---Sets TIME_WAIT parameter to 60 seconds (non-RFC 1122), default is 240.
Added Registry Entry Tcpip/Parameters/MaxFreeTwTcbs=480000 --Sets maximum number of TIME_WAIT tcbs to 480,000.
Set NDIS/Parameters/ProcessorAffinityMask to 0 ---Forces processor that handled interrupt to also handle that DPC, default is any processor.
Added Registry Entry Inetinfo/Parameters/ObjectCacheTTL=0
Added Registry Entry Inetinfo/Parameters/OpenFileInCache=0
Added Registry Entry Inetinfo/Parameters/MaxPoolThreads=1
Added Registry Entry Inetinfo/Parameters/PoolThreadLimit=2
For each Alteon NIC:
-Added Registry Entry Altndis(X)/Parameters/SendCoalMax=0x14 --Sets number of send buffer descriptors in send ring.
-Added Registry Entry Altndis(X)/Parameters/RecvCoalMax=0x28 -- Sets number of frames received before notifying host.
-Added Registry Entry Altndis(X)/Parameters/SendCoalTicks=0x3e8 --Sets number of microsec. before send buffers are returned to host.
-Added Registry Entry Altndis(X)/Parameters/RecvCoalTicks=0x3e8. -- Sets number of microsec. before recv. buffers are given to host.
-Set Registry Entry Altndis(X)/Parameters/JumboFrames=0x1. -- Enables Jumbo Frame support.
Network interrupts affinitized one NIC per CPU.
SWC configured with 1 thread per NIC affinitized to same CPU as NIC.
One 4GB 7200RPM disk for OS, 4 4GB 10KRPM disk for web pages and logs and pagefile.
