-    * for persistent settings after reboot
+    * **permanent ethtool settings**
+
+        There are two main methods.
+
+        1. ``systemd service`` (recommended for Fedora and modern RHEL)
+
+            This is the preferred method on systems using systemd and NetworkManager, such as Fedora and RHEL 8+.
+
+            Create a systemd service template:
+                .. code-block:: ini
+
+                    # /etc/systemd/system/ethtool@.service
+
+                    [Unit]
+                    Description=Set RX buffer size with ethtool
+                    After=network-online.target
+                    Wants=network-online.target
+
+                    [Service]
+                    ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ethtool -G %i rx 8192
+                    Type=oneshot
+
+                    [Install]
+                    WantedBy=multi-user.target
+
+
+            Enable the service for a specific interface:
                 .. code-block:: bash
 
-            # edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-[ethernet interface name]
+                    sudo systemctl enable ethtool@xth1.service
-            # add or modify the following lines
+
+            This ensures the setting is applied at every boot once the network is online.
+
+
+        2. ``ETHTOOL_OPTS in ifcfg scripts`` (legacy method for RHEL 7 and earlier)
+
+            This method applies only to systems using the legacy network-scripts backend, typically RHEL 7 and earlier. It will not apply on systems using NetworkManager, such as modern Fedora or RHEL 8+.
+
+            .. code-block:: bash
+
+                # edit the corresponding ``ifcfg-*`` file
+                # file: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
+
+                # add or modify the following line:
                 ETHTOOL_OPTS="-K ${DEVICE} gro on; -G ${DEVICE} rx 4096; -L ${DEVICE} combined 4; -C ${DEVICE} rx-usecs 100; -C ${DEVICE} adaptive-rx on"
 
-            # restart interface ethernet interface
+                # restart the interface
-            ifdown xth1 && ifup xth1
+                ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0
