# Linux tuning

This section describes tuning recommendations for the Linux operating system environment.

Implement these recommendations to prevent deployment issues, particularly in high capacity environments. The following settings will increase the performance and capacity of the networking, particularly TCP, stack, and file descriptor usage, respectively, enabling PingAccess to handle a high volume of concurrent requests.

For more information, see the following topics:

* [Tuning network and TCP settings](pa_tuning_network_and_tcp_settings.html)

* [Increasing file descriptor limits (systemv)](pa_increasing_file_descriptor_limits_systemv.html)
