A system administrator notices a drop in file transfer speeds from a newly deployed service. The application logs show no CPU or memory constraints. A test using smaller files finishes quickly, but larger files take a long time. The local gateway settings are functional, and the address space is not exhausted. Which change addresses the slowdown most effectively?
Modify the transport window settings to accommodate higher throughput
Assign more ephemeral connections in the configuration
Optimizing the transfer window size allows more data to be transmitted before requiring an acknowledgment, improving speeds for large file transfers. Switching to a different port path does not inherently increase raw transfer speed, and adding ephemeral connections is relevant for large numbers of short-lived sessions rather than slow throughput. Disabling local firewall logs typically has minimal impact on overall data transfer performance.
