Is large send offload enabled on my AIX system?
Enabling TCP large send offload (LSO), on AIX, is generally considered a good thing. It helps with overall network performance.

Tuning Virtual Ethernet adapters for (even) better backup performance.
Are you backing up your AIX systems
over Virtual Ethernet adapters? Of course you are, who isn’t right? Are your
backup server and clients on the same physical POWER system? You are most
likely backing up over Virtual Ethernet to another AIX LPAR that is running
your enterprise backup software, such as TSM or Legato Networker for example.
And you probably have a dedicated private virtual network (and adapters) on
both the clients and the server to handle the traffic for the nightly backups.
The next question is, have you tuned your... [More]

rmsock on AIX.
I like lsof . Whenever
I’m building a new AIX system I always make sure to install it. I really like
the fact that I can quickly list processes that are connected to TCP and UDP
ports on my system. For example, to check for the current SSH connections on my
system I can run lsof and check
port 22 (SSH). Immediately I have a good idea of the existing SSH
sessions/connections. I can also check to see if the SSH server (sshd daemon)
is running and listening (LISTEN) on my AIX partition. # lsof -i tcp:22 Value of I :77 np:0 COMMAND... [More]
