| 8 | The Oracle VM VirtualBox NAT stack performance is often determined by
|
|---|
| 9 | its interaction with the host's TCP/IP stack and the size of
|
|---|
| 10 | several buffers, <codeph>SO_RCVBUF</codeph> and
|
|---|
| 11 | <codeph>SO_SNDBUF</codeph>. For certain setups users might
|
|---|
| 12 | want to adjust the buffer size for a better performance. This
|
|---|
| 13 | can by achieved using the following commands, where values are
|
|---|
| 14 | in kilobytes and can range from 8 to 1024:
|
|---|
| 15 | </p>
|
|---|
| 16 | <pre xml:space="preserve">$ VBoxManage modifyvm <varname>VM-name</varname> \
|
|---|
| 17 | --natsettings1 16000,128,128,0,0</pre>
|
|---|
| 18 | <p>
|
|---|
| 19 | This example illustrates tuning the NAT settings. The first
|
|---|
| 20 | parameter is the MTU, then the size of the socket's send buffer
|
|---|
| 21 | and the size of the socket's receive buffer, the initial size of
|
|---|
| 22 | the TCP send window, and lastly the initial size of the TCP
|
|---|
| 23 | receive window. Note that specifying zero means fallback to the
|
|---|
| 24 | default value.
|
|---|
| 25 | </p>
|
|---|
| 26 | <p>
|
|---|
| 27 | Each of these buffers has a default size of 64KB and default MTU
|
|---|
| 28 | is 1500.
