OS Optimization Windows OS Make sure latest updates for Windows are installed. Microsoft provides Performance Tuning Guidelines targeting Server clients: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463392.aspx TCP/IP Tuning Default TCP/IP optimization for Windows allows 10GbE wire speed network performance for limited time. Usually TCP connections are limited in time and do not live for more than a few hours. Default Windows TCP/IP stack is optimized for WAN, long distance media connections.
Benchmark Performance Tuning This part describes hardware and software optimization for benchmark testing. Benchmark test, in contrary to regular traffic, is of a singular type at a time and all the computer resources should be dedicated to accelerate this specific traffic type being tested. OS Optimization Windows OS For best results, it is recommended that a fresh copy of the OS will be installed and all updates applied.
