Operating System Notes

Tuning parameters:
- Control/FileSystem/NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate=1, prevents updating LastAccess time stamp
- Control/Session Manager/Memory Management/LargeSystemCache=0, limits system cache, default 1
- Control/Session Manager/Memory Management/SystemPages=0xffffffff, sets system pages.
- Tcpip/Parameters/DisableLargeSendOffload=0, enable large sends for TCP/IP
- Tcpip/Parameters/MaxFreeTWTcbs=1098000, sets maximum number of TIME_WAIT tcbs to 1,098,000
- Tcpip/Parameters/MaxHashTableSize=0x10000, sets TCB hash table size to 65,536 entries, default 512
- Tcpip/Parameters/MaxSendSegments=0x1000, max TCP segments sent consecutively to a destination, default 64
- Tcpip/Parameters/MaxUserPort=0xfffe, sets maximum open ports to 65534
- Tcpip/Parameters/NumTcbTablePartitions=64, sets number of independent TCB table segments, default 4
- Tcpip/Parameters/TcpTimedWaitDelay=60, sets TIME_WAIT parameter to 60 seconds (non-RFC 1122), default is 240
- Tcpip/Parameters/TcpWindowSize=65535, sets TCP send/receive window size, default 8192
Alteon NIC settings in registry:
- PciReadMax=128, sets maximum number of bytes per PCI read burst, default 0xffffffff
- LargeSend=1, enables large sends
- HybridLen=54, threshold in bytes that the driver decides to DMA versus copy, default 128
- HostTracing=0 (off), disables NIC driver logging events, default 1 (on).

Hardware Notes
