How to compute RWIN-->

Post by martin777 »

According to www.dslreports.com -->
"Receive Window should be larger than bandwidth delay product (also known as pipe capacity).

For example, for 170ms delay on a 768Kbps link, RWIN = 768000 bits/sec * 0.170 sec = 130560 bits = 16320 bytes."

What do ya think of that?

:eek:

Well heres another way to look at it. Your average Download in bits x 1024 x your ping time divide that by 8 = n divide that by MSS round that off to the nearest hundred x that number by MSS giving you the unscaled Rwin then you can get your scaled Rwin...

What do I think of there math :( slow speeds

What do I think of speedguides Math real good

If you do a search on Rwin, there is a real good 15 page discussion on it in this forum :) posted by rmrucker
