NIC Tuning & Optimization
Optimize Network Interface Card (NIC) settings, including offloading features and queue management, for higher throughput.
Introduction to NIC Tuning
Welcome to NIC Tuning & Optimization! In this lesson, we'll explore how to fine-tune your Network Interface Card (NIC) for better performance.
A NIC is the hardware that connects your computer to a network. Optimizing its settings can significantly improve network throughput and reduce CPU load.
Discovering Your Network Interfaces
Before tuning, you need to know your NIC's name. The ip link command lists all network interfaces on your Linux system, showing their status and names.
Common names include eth0, enp0s3, or wlan0 for Wi-Fi.
