The hardware ethernet adapter parameters for 100 Mb/s should be set as
follows:

transmit queue size = 16384 (the maximum)
hardware receive queue size = 2048 (the maximum)
media speed = 100_Full_Duplex

The no parameters should be set as follows:

thewall = maximum
sb_max = 1048576
tcp_sendspace = 32768
tcp_recvspace = 32768
udp_sendspace = 56296 (or more)
udp_recvspace = 262144 ( or more)  (For NetView, this is one of the most
important parameters to make as big as possible since all traps are udp
packets.
tcp_mssdflt = 1500 (for ethernet adapter)
rfc1323 = 1

In addition, set /usr/samples/kernel/vmtune -p 5 -P 5.

Ensure that you have the correct amount of paging space, i.e. for up to 2Gb
memory, then 2-3 Gb paging space.
