Network performance
Complete the following steps until the problem is solved:
1. Isolate which network is operating slowly (such as storage, data, and management). You might find it
helpful to use ping tools or operating-system tools such as ethtool, task manager, or resource manager.
2. Check for traffic congestion on the network.
3. Utilize flow control settings to avoid overloading a port.
4. Update the NIC device driver, or the storage device controller device driver.
5. Use any traffic-diagnostic tools provided by the adapter manufacturer.
6. Balance the workload across multiple processor cores by using functions such as Receive Side Scaling
(RSS).
7. Limit the inter-processor communication by using parameters such as interrupt affinity and NUMA
settings.
