How can I increase the value of somaxconn?

  • 772

I can check its value by cat /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn,

is it OK if I change it simply by echo 1024 > /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn?

  1. Yes. Alternatively, you can use:

    sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=1024

    Add net.core.somaxconn=1024 to /etc/sysctl.conf for it to become permanent (be reapplied after booting).

  2. yes /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn is writable if you have the permissions to do so.
