Hello,
I have been playing around with the TCP parameters to try to tune my =
system for high BW long distance transfer.
Sending host with -CURRENT (as of yesterday) GigE card (bge) and the =
following parameters set:
kern.ipc.maxsockbuf: 8388608
net.inet.tcp.sendspace: 3230781
net.inet.tcp.recvspace: 3230781
net.inet.tcp.rfc1323: 1
net.inet.tcp.inflight_enable: 0
net.inet.tcp.inflight_min: 16000
net.inet.tcp.slowstart_flightsize: 8
kern.ipc.nmbclusters: 9024
This gives (with ttcp) between a pair of hosts 80 km (50 miles) apart - =
with a RTT of 1.6 ms:
root@stinky 33# ttcp -s -t -f m -l 61440 -n 20345 dino =
ttcp-t: buflen=3D61440, nbuf=3D20345, align=3D16384/0, port=3D5001 tcp =
-> dino
ttcp-t: socket
ttcp-t: connect
ttcp-t: 1249996800 bytes in 27.26 real seconds =3D 349.86 Mbit/sec +++
ttcp-t: 20345 I/O calls, msec/call =3D 1.37, calls/sec =3D 746.37
ttcp-t: 0.0user 15.9sys 0:27real 58% 15i+354d 416maxrss 0+0pf 0+45863csw
During that time "netstat 1" shows:

--------------------> Then I do this:
root@stinky 34# sysctl net.inet.tcp.inflight_enable=3D1
net.inet.tcp.inflight_enable: 0 -> 1
And get:
root@stinky 35# ttcp -s -t -f m -l 61440 -n 20345 dino
ttcp-t: buflen=3D61440, nbuf=3D20345, align=3D16384/0, port=3D5001 tcp =

Either I have completely misunderstood the effect of inflight_enable, or =
something is very wrong?!?
Any ideas?
