Im realy new and want to fix a bottleneck preloading of big pages effect

vortech · Post by **vortech** » Mon Jun 03, 2002 7:00 pm

I'm realy new I downloaded the registry patch internet speed patch the other speed patch. now all the small pages load so fast but the large pages look like they preload for 2 or 3 seconds. I want to pry open that bottle neck as far as is safe so everything loads right now; It should be with cable roadrunner. I have win 98/ compaq presario 5000 series.

Please read "My Tips" in my sig and answer the questions and try the tweaks I suggest.

This is what I found in the regedit at the place where I should have seen SLOWNET.

AdapterType, ApmPme, BusType, DeviceVxDs, DevLoader, DriverDate, DriverDesc, DuplexMode, EarlyTxThreshhold, EnumPropPages, InfSection, IPMTU, LinKUp, MatchingDeviceId, MediaType, NTMPDriver, ProviderName, WakeUpFrame. All in a list type format. I was puzzled that I could'nt find slownet but followed all the TCPOptimizer custom settings. Where do I go from here?

Did you read this part?

THESE QUESTIONS MUST BE ANSWERED PRIOR TO YOU ASKING FOR HELP
Something I see alot of people ask is "do these settings look good", that is a question that cannot be answered without knowing more information. Everyone's goal here at Speed Guide is to help you get the most from your connection, but we need to know some information prior to helping. There are many factors that effect the speed of your connection, some of the information needed is:

1. What type of connection do you have? i.e. 56K, DSL (PPPoE or not), Cable etc.

2. Who is youe ISP and what is your advertised speed from them? i.e. Cox.net & 3000/256 (this is advertised in kilobits per second.)

3. What are your current settings now? Do an analyzer test (in my signature) and copy and paste the results (remember to XXXXX out your IP address) here.

4. What kind of speeds are you getting now? Do 10 speed tests from Speakeasy (choose the location nearest to you) clearing your internet temp files prior to each test, and give us the average of your top 5 tests.

IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND
5. Remember your goal is to get 90% of your rated speed, sometimes depending on factors beyond your control i.e. routers, servers, line quality etc. it just isn't gonna happen, no matter what you do.

6. Please tell us your operating system i.e. 95, 98, ME, 2K or XP.

TCP options string = 020405b401010402

MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.

MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals MSS.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 5840
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 5840
RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other values for RWIN 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)
64240 (MSS x 44)

bandwidth * delay product:
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 233.6 kbps (29.2 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 93.44 kbps (11.68 KBytes/s) @ 500ms
Consider increasing your RWIN value to optimize TCP/IP for broadband.

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 116 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00000000

OK great, I assumed you were on Cable. Your settings are perfect for 56K, as for the slownet parameter - it's there I have set it on many pc's. I hope the tweaks helped.

for 56k? shouldn't his mtu be in the hundreds?

I guess all those webpages that say that must be all wrong

If the MTU is 1500 for 56k, it shouldnt matter if mtu is 1500 for pppoe huh huh? But yet it does matter....

mnosteele52 · Post by **mnosteele52** » Tue Jun 04, 2002 1:12 am

What are you talking about? If you think it should be lower please explain why, I can explain why it shouldn't. PPPoE DSL is completely different.

AcidFire · Post by **AcidFire** » Tue Jun 04, 2002 1:15 am

56K.com articles state the MTU should be 576

http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/280/
read that.....

Recommended Values

576 - Dial-up Connections
1492 - PPPoE Broadband Connections
1500 - Ethernet, DSL and Cable Broadband Connections

I've had 56K and still do at my dad's house and I know 576 has worked best and is most given mtu...

mnosteele52 · Post by **mnosteele52** » Tue Jun 04, 2002 1:22 am

I apologize if I'm being rude but I know from my experience with tweaking and testing myself not an article. To explain, some say that a MTU of 576 is better for 56K - not true, it has absolutely no effect on latency(ping) or throughput the only things that effect latency on 56K are a good quality hardware modem and good quality phone line. As for thoughput if you have your MTU set to 576 how can you match the MTU of a particular website? You can't, that is why you set it to 1500 and set PMTUDiscovery to 1 so that your MTU will match the MTU of the site you are on thereby optimizing your throughput. I have tweaked and tested every possible setting to help optimize a dialup connection and the one's I have posted are the ones that actually work.

AcidFire · Post by **AcidFire** » Tue Jun 04, 2002 1:24 am

I'm not going to argue, I just tried helping because I've always seen MTU 576 for 56K but you reasoning makes sense and for that I won't argue, so good call. Now, can you please get on aim

I noticed that when I defraged there were alot more unmovable blocks could that be from rambooster?

mnosteele52 · Post by **mnosteele52** » Tue Jun 04, 2002 1:56 am

I suggest removing Rambooster and download X-Setup it is the ultimate tweaking app and has the same settings that Rambooster and Cacheman have to optimize your RAM but you set it and leave it so there is nothing running in the background eating up system resources.

vortech · Post by **vortech** » Tue Jun 04, 2002 3:45 am

How do I increase that? Superman I changed all the settings in the regedit to 0000 01 00 00 00 and Its alot better.

JeffL · Post by **JeffL** » Tue Jun 04, 2002 10:18 am

You need the TCPOptimizer proggie, the link is in MNOSteels signature.

Run it, make sure everything is nice looking, then reboot and use the TCP/IP analyzer to make sure the settings are good, then post them here.

BTW, no system should be without Cacheman! And best of all, its freeware. By far the best system tweaker I know of, unless you prefer to do it manually of course.

mnosteele52 · Post by **mnosteele52** » Tue Jun 04, 2002 1:30 pm

vortech your are on dialup your RWIN is perfect as it is. JeffL all Cacheman does is set your vcache and put a few other lines in your system.ini file (that do work), I'm not going into detail about what lines it uses but you could add them manually or just use X-Setup as I suggest and do it with the checking of a box with a nice gui. Once these settings are in place there is absolutely no reason to have an app such as Cacheman running in the background, the whole point is to free up RAM and system resources so why have anything extra running that you don't need? I see alot of people using these apps and they are pretty much useless (and do absolutely nothing in 2K & XP), try and see for yourself.
