On Linux increasing the txqueuelength parameter to a value between 1000 and 20000 per ethernet interface. This is especially useful for high-speed connections that perform large, homogeneous data transfers. The transmit queue length can be adjusted by using the ifconfig command as shown below(for example for the eth1 interface) :
- # ifconfig eth1 txqueuelen 1000
