Are there recommended settings for Swappiness & Net Mem for MQ.
Swappiness
- REL 8 default is 60
- REL 8 also really started pushing cgroups, so it?s no longer enough to just set swappiness
- RedHat recommends 60 because SSD?s have become blazingly fast
- SSD speed isn?t our issue though, any data written to disk is synchronously replicated which kills us for SWAP.
Net mem
- Using the default net memory settings means that max and default are the same
- This severely limits TCP window scaling (typically to 65k max)
- Increasing the max allows the window to grow as needed to fit the data flow
- Small windows limit how much data can be received before the sender needs to stop and wait for the other side to catch up.
