Tuning network and TCP settings - PingAccess - 7.0

# Controls the use of TCP syncookies (default is 1)
# and increase the number of outstanding syn requests allowed.

# Increase number of incoming connections.
# somaxconn defines the number of request_sock structures allocated
# per each listen call.
# The queue is persistent through the life of the listen socket.

# Increase number of incoming connections backlog queue.
# Sets the maximum number of packets, queued on the INPUT side,
# when the interface receives packets faster
# than kernel can process them.

# decrease TCP timeout

# Allow reuse of sockets in TIME_WAIT state for new connections
# (While this may increase performance, use with caution according
# to the kernel documentation.  This setting should only be enabled
# after the system administrator reviews security considerations.)
