Optimal performance is based on efficient client-server communication. Increasing or decreasing the **mount** read and write option size values can improve NFS performance. The default size of the read/write packets transferred between client and server are 8 KB for NFS version 2, and 32 KB for NFS version 3 and 4. These defaults may be too large or too small. Reducing the rsize and wsize might improve NFS performance in a congested network by sending smaller packets for each NFS-read reply and write request. However, this can increase the number of packets needed to send data across the network, increasing total network traffic and CPU utilization on the client and server.
