- # Kernel sysctl configuration file for Linux
- #
- # Version 1.12 - 2015-09-30
- # Michiel Klaver - IT Professional
- # http://klaver.it/linux/ for the latest version - http://klaver.it/bsd/ for a BSD variant
- #
- # This file should be saved as /etc/sysctl.conf and can be activated using the command:
- # sysctl -e -p /etc/sysctl.conf
- #
- # For binary values, 0 is disabled, 1 is enabled. See sysctl(8) and sysctl.conf(5) for more details.
- #
- # Tested with: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS kernel version 3.13
- # Debian 7 kernel version 3.2
- # CentOS 7 kernel version 3.10
- #
- # Intended use for dedicated server systems at high-speed networks with loads of RAM and bandwidth available
- # Optimised and tuned for high-performance web/ftp/mail/dns servers with high connection-rates
- # DO NOT USE at busy networks or xDSL/Cable connections where packetloss can be expected
