Hi 

Referring to the email thread sent in October 2014 below it seems that our sysctl.conf file is still going back to the default settings after the box is restarted after an update. The default settings are appended to the end of the file thus overriding our settings. For our tests over our longer links this affects the test results massively. 

So 2 questions:

1 - Is there perhaps a way in which we could turn off changes to the sysctl.conf file?

2 - What do you recommend we do?

Thanks

With the 3.4 release, we’ll no longer be overwriting the sysctl.conf settings. They’ll only be set on new installs.

Cheers,
