Hi, We've got a number of 9.x systems in service - replacing a number of older 6/7/8 ones. In the olden days (going back quite a while) you had to fiddle around with stuff like NMBCLUSTERS, MAXUSERS etc. In fact, if you have a look around Google it's littered with guides/articles for this stuff, which appears to be all very out of date. Does anyone have any links for 'modern' tuning guides - or is it simply not necessary with newer FreeBSD versions? (e.g. 9.x upwards) e.g. if the machine is amd64 w/6-8Gb of RAM - running GENERIC. The servers typically handle lots of TCP sessions - so I'm just concerned about what in the olden days would have been network buffers etc. Thanks, -Karl
