Quick question, does this look right?
Code:
Ring parameters for nic4:
Pre-set maximums:
RX:                     2047
RX Mini:                n/a
RX Jumbo:               8191
TX:                     2047
TX push buff len:       n/a
Current hardware settings:
RX:                     511
RX Mini:                n/a
RX Jumbo:               2044
TX:                     511
RX Buf Len:             n/a
CQE Size:               n/a
TX Push:                off
RX Push:                off
TX push buff len:       n/a
TCP data split:         on

I notice the difference between maximums and current hardware settings.

THX,

HI,

the “pre-set maximums” are the hardware/driver limits, while the “current hardware settings” are the values actually in use right now. It’s common for current RX/TX ring sizes to be lower (like 511 vs 2047) because the driver or OS chooses safer defaults for stability and resource use. The jumbo and other values also don’t have to match the max unless you’ve explicitly tuned them.
