bandwidth management

AI training/inference hammers east–west bandwidth with microbursts that can idle GPUs; this Bash-first playbook shows how to baseline, emulate, right-size, and tune networks using standard Linux tools and distro-agnostic installs. Measure drops, model traffic with iperf3/netem, keep links under ~70% steady use, enable jumbo frames, fq, ECN, sensible offloads, balance IRQs, and monitor continuously to avoid costly under-provisioning.

Discover how to effectively manage network traffic with `iftop`, an essential command-line tool for system and network administrators. This guide covers everything from installation across several Linux distributions to detailed usage techniques. Gain insights on real-time network bandwidth monitoring, with features like live traffic feed, network and port filtering, and alternating display modes to efficiently identify and tackle bandwidth issues for optimal performance.
