request: txqueuelen too low for adsl connection - change?

English Network/Internet

I noticed the default txqueuelen is set to 1000 (bytes, I suppose(?)) for ethernet/wireless cards.

if I do

ifconfig eth0 txqueuelen 65535

all subsequent connections speed up considerably ( from 500-700kB/sec going up towards 1.0 - 1.3 mB/sec )
My ethernet over power uplink towards the DSL modem then becomes the bottleneck…

can this default setting be changed or made into a configurable item in the network setup ?

No, I think that’s packets, not bytes.

I’d like to know this also as I set my txqueuelen higher on both eth slaves and bond0. Where should I put rmem_max and wmem_max changes as well? I’m new to opensuse.

I’d like to know this also as I set my txqueuelen higher on both eth slaves and bond0. Where should I put rmem_max and wmem_max changes as well? I’m new to opensuse and a lot of things are different than mandriva based distros.

Puzzled: do you set your mtu higher also? I was able to do that in ifcfg but the txle… didn’t work there.
