AME on AIX

Advanced Memory expansion factor on my profile is set to "1", So technically no use, So what is the difference between turning it totally off Vs selecting AME with an expansion factor "1", What are performance implications. Please let me know..

Ohhh I didnot know that, So first thing how do I check the page size as I know that we have large pages enabled on the server and also on the network.
vmo  -a | grep lgpg

"lgpg_regions" specifies the number of large pages to reserve, and "lgpg_size" specifies the size in bytes of the hardware-supported large pages.

"vmstat -l" will show the number of large pages in use under "large-page". "alp" is "active large pages" and "flp" is "free large pages".

The network does not come into play here.
