Admins,
I have a question concerning network performance tuning. I have a
GS160 running 8 processors (2 QBB's) 16 Gb of memory, TRU64 5.1a patch kit
3, one ee0 interface card (set at 100 full).... The system runs one oracle
9i OLTP database. For the longest time network performance has been steady.
Lately it appears sluggish... I have a script that reset the netstat
counters every night and mails to me the previous day. Below you will find
the output for TCP from yesterday...a weekend..where I expect that network
traffic should be lighter. Do these seem abnormal...In particular the
number of window update packets, is that a high number or ratio?
Thanks,
Lee Brewer
