TCP options string = 020405b40103030101010402
MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.
MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals MSS.
Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) = 128480
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 1 bits (scale factor of 2)
Unscaled TCP Receive Window = 64240

RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other RWIN values that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
513920 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8)
256960 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)
128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2) <-- current value
64240 (MSS x 44)
bandwidth * delay product (Note this is not a speed test):

Your TCP Window limits you to: 5139 kbps (642 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your TCP Window limits you to: 2056 kbps (257 KBytes/s) @ 500ms
MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = OFF
Time to live left = 49 hops
TTL value is ok.
Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF
Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON
IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 00000000 (0)


oh and that is the system stuff from the analyzer

Well that icon in the taskbar isn't what it means by connection speed that is your local network. Who is your isp? If you know what speed package you have through them ,so I could give you step by step ,and settings better suited for your dsl/cable connection. :)

You should make a sub-folder and transfer TCP Optimizer.exe and these 2 icons into it. The first backup carries your original TCP settings before the first run of TCP Optimizer, and the sg backup is always created when your run TCP Optimizer again.
