  • PeteNetLive – KB0000741 – HP and Cisco – VLANs and Trunks Confusion! – When I first started in IT, I went and did my Cisco CCNA. So I learned that to connect Cisco switches and pass VLAN traffic between them, I needed to create a 'Trunk' to pass the VLAN traffic. Fast forward a few years, and I now work for an HP reseller. Very early on I came to realise that what HP called a 'trunk' was very different from what I had been taught. Below is an article I did a while ago about setting up HP Trunks.
  • OpenNOP – Open Network Optimization Platform – OpenNOP is an open source Linux based network accelerator. It's designed to optimise network traffic over point-to-point, partially-meshed and full-meshed IP networks.
    The goal of OpenNOP is to increase network performance over low speed network connections such as ISDN, DSL, DS1, frame-relay, VPN and other network circuits. To accomplish this we can use a variety of techniques such as compression, deduplication, caching and protocol spoofing.
    The objectives for OpenNOP are:
    Produce a low cost solution to increase network performance, improve the end user experience and deliver this in a easy to use appliance image.
    Provide a single solution for networks on terrestrial, cellular and satellite systems.
    Facilitate an open framework that can be extended by 3rd party modules to improve specific network traffic.
  • Deon’s World – Understanding and using htop to monitor system resources – Every so often there will be something that slows a system down. There are a few tools that can help to identify which process is the cause of this slow down. One such tool is htop. Htop is an interactive and real time process monitoring application for Linux which will show you your usage per cpu/core, as well as a meaningful text graph of your memory and swap usage.

  • MaxClients, MaxKeepAliveRequests e KeepAliveTimeout: ottimizzazione di Apache HTTP Server | Panix websiting – Oggi sappiamo quanto sia importante la velocità di caricamento della pagina sia in termini di usabilità ed user experience, sia in termini SEO, in quanto i motori di ricerca hanno inserito la velocità di caricamento delle pagine nei loro algoritmi di ranking.

    Di recente ho avuto modo di lavorare sull'ottimizzazione di un server web, ed è interessante notare come sia possibile ottenere ottimi risultati intervenendo su tre semplici parametri di configurazione del web server Apache:

    MaxClients
    MaxKeepAliveRequests
    KeepAliveTimeout
    parametri la cui importanza è spesso sottovalutata e che non sempre garantiscono le migliori prestazioni alle loro impostazioni di default.
