TCP options string = 020405b40402080a0b6b46c80000000001030300
MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.
MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1448, which is less than MSS because of Timestamps, or other TCP/IP options used.
Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) = 5840
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled TCP Receive Window = 5840

RWIN seems to be set to a very small number. If you're on a broadband connection, consider using a larger value.
RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other RWIN values that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
64240  (up to 2 Mbit lines, depending on latency. MSS * 44)
128480 (1-5 Mbit lines, depending on latency. MSS * 44 * 2)
256960 (2-20 Mbit lines, depending on latency. MSS * 44 * 2^2)
513920 (20-100 Mbit lines, depending on latency. MSS * 44 * 2^3)
1027840 (80+ Mbit lines up to Gigabit connections, depending on latency. MSS * 44 * 2^4)

bandwidth * delay product (Note this is not a speed test):

Your current TCP Window limits you to: 234 kbps (~23 KBytes/s) @ 200ms latency
Your current TCP Window limits you to: 93 kbps (~9 KBytes/s) @ 500ms latency
Consider increasing your RWIN value to optimize TCP/IP for broadband.
Note: You can expect up to ~90% of this throughput considering line overhead.
MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON
Time to live left = 47 hops
TTL value is ok.
Timestamps (RFC1323) = ON
Note: Timestamps add 12 bytes to the TCP header of each packet, reducing the space available for useful data.
Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON
IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 00000000 (0)

Optimize Your Connection

The TCP/IP Analyzer results provide packet header information from the TCP 3-way handshake between your computer and our server. The information above can be used to fine-tune TCP/IP settings and optimize your internet connection.
Detailed information on optimizing your network-related settings is available in our Broadband articles and TCP/IP Tweaks Articles.
We have also developed the free TCP Optimizer program to help apply the optimal settings automatically: SG TCP/IP Optimizer

Feel free to ask specific questions about your results in our forums.
