Gaming Tweak - Disable Nagle's algorithm

What are the correct settings for this? I currently have:

TcpAckFrequency: enabled:1
TCPNoDelay: enabled:1
TcpDelAckTicks: enabled:1

Is this correct to 'Disable Nagle's algorithm'?

TcpDelAckTicks has to be set to zero (check the mouseover tooltips of each setting if not sure). The others are correct at one.

So this basically sends packets right away; theoretically smaller packets and thus increasing CPU use/cycles, right? If so then I would want to set my Windows stack and adapter to accept all types of offloading, sidescaling, etc. to compensate the increased packet count, right?

the software for some reason doesnt call the TcpDelAckTicks value from registry properly when checking the previous value. when set to 0 and after rebooting it still shows default N/A. despite the registry shows the value in place.
