Rwins for Gaming vs. Surfing

As subject implies, I read somehwhere that rwins for gaming might want to be lower (like below 8000 kinda range) as any potential packet loss and ping related stuff is handled better at a lower rwin.

My current rwin is at 513920 here is a dsl report as well.....

* Your scaled RWIN offered as 441344
* Some tests failed.
* Use the RWIN calculator - possibly lower it
* Recommendations end.
* Detail..
* Your MTU is set ok
* You are 16 hops away
* Your remaining TTL is 51
* Your TTL is 67
* Quick packet-loss tested ok
* Your scaled RWIN is advertised as 441344
* Scaled RWIN on data packet is 513920
* End


So...I'm not sure if I should lower rwin for gaming, expecially at night..plus why does this dsl report say 441344 is my scaled rwin?

Thanks in advance for any information.

:cool:

Where you have RWIN is way to high, 8000 is way to low, put it back where it was, dslr never reports corect RWIN, use our tweak tester :eek:

Hey Lobo:

Thanks for the response.

I wee you saying that the 513920 is way too high ...and 8000 is way too low... what would be your guess as to the right rwin.

I have the speed enhancer utility that suggests a setting of 373000 ( or thereabouts) Is that the number you had in mind? Or something different?

thanks again

It's a shame that UDP doesn't use or recognize Revieve Windows otherwise you might be able to tweak that factor :)
