Transmit buffer size
The size of the local transmit (TX) buffer (sndbuf-size) is obtained by the formula (maximum size of the transmission band per sec * transmission timeout). For a 1Gbps band, (about 100MB/s * 5s) = 500MB, so you can set it between 500MB and 1GB to be generouson the local side is ideally set to a number that allows for the free transfer of locally generated I/O data to the remote side. It is found by the following equation
Maximum size of transmit band per time (s) * Transmit timeout time (s)
For example, for a 1 Gbps band, you can get (about 100 MB/s * 5 s) = 500 MB, and you can set a buffer of 500 MB to 1 GB.
If you need to consider the variable bandwidth of the WAN segment, you can add more capacity to the above size plus the time (s) to tolerate the WAN bottleneck delay, or buffer it with a proxy (DRX). Typically, WAN leg buffering is specified at 5 to 10 times the TX buffer.

When paging occurs can vary depending on your system's memory capacity, platform, and OS version. The 70% figure described above is typical and should be understood in the context of your environment. BSR memory usage on Linux is similar or less than on Windows. It uses a bit more memory on Windows due to some differences in the replication architecture. |
