Tuning network drivers
4
For the Brocade driver, you cannot directly configure the number of NetQueue and filters per
NetQueue. By default, these values are based on the number of receive queue sets used, which is
calculated from the number of CPUs in the system. You can change the number of NetQueues from
the default (number of CPUs) by setting the number of receive queue sets (bnad_rxqsets_used).
Default value: Disable
Possible values: Enable, Disable
Recommendations to enhance performance
Enabling NetQueue utilizes multiple receive queues of the Brocade adapter, which can be handled
by multiple CPUs on the host system, thus improving performance.
How to change values
Refer to instructions for Windows “Network driver parameters” in Appendix A of Brocade Adapters
Installation and Reference Manual.
