new here , wanting some thoughts on this

Post by MousePotato »

Hi ,just signed up and tried the SG tweak to see if it helps me, so far so good, wanting some thoughts on the TCIP analyzer thingy and if my settings are ok...thx in advance!


TCP options string = 020405b40103030301010402

MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.

MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which is equal to MSS.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 513920
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 3 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 64240
RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
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: 20556.8 kbps (2569.6 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 8222.72 kbps (1027.84 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 45 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00000000

You can try RWIN's of 531440, 544800 or 560640, 578160


How do do speed test
1. The best time is early in the morning (3 AM - 6 AM)
2. Make sure defrag has been run so no files are fragmented
3. Delete Temp internet files, not while testing, but after each test. IE browser, click tools, internet options, click on delete files and no this will not harm system, just get rid of temp files
4. Go to a fast server such as http://www.happypuppy.com and click on 10 demos, select a LARGE file to download (not all of it , just most of it, before you click cancel) this will show you how fast you are downloading, it's not going to be quick except except early in morning when not many people on net. I recommend you go to http://www.analogX.com and download Net State live, run this while downloading as it will give you avg of your download speed, really all you need on Net Stat is incoming data, incoming totals and Local machine, right click on Net Stat anywhere, stactics and check these 3 items, the rest need not be checked unless you want them, all you care about is average. Another fast download site is ftp.lucasarts.com
Put system defrag in scheduled tasks to run everyday.
5. Probably the most important, nothing can be running during test, no firewalls, no virus stuff, no ICQ, no AIM (some of you may have to go into BIOS to disable virus scanner, nothing running except Net Stat live
Scheduled tasks will run disk defrag, 98 & SE in Taskbar, WIN ME in control panel
The people who want speed surfing or doing whatever must close all other programs.
(NOTE: at present time http://www.AOL.com seems to be fastest download site, at bottom download aol 6.0)
Or if you wish you may go to http://www.testmyspeed.com and do one of the online tests, these vary to much for me but you may like them.

i'm unsure of what the cap limit is , but i ran a test from
speakeasy.net

2.768mb/sec dl
386kb/sec up


i have no reason to complain at those figures after coming off a 56k that gave me 2-10kb/sec dl.............. LOL
maybe more settigns are not needed eh?


ah broadband is sweet indeed ! :D

i have tried all the different amounts you suggested, there are different
fluctuations in each, however i find the largest amout of
578160 seems to be my fasted for both up and down.
again this all depends on what site i'm connected to, but doing some sped tests i have hit as high as
4.07mb/sec dl
486kb/sec up
on average i am getting around 3mb/sec dl and 420 kb/sec up
with these tcip settings :

Nice job...Lobo is a good teacher isn't he?

One piece of advice....enjoy your connection. If it aint broke, don't tweak it! Now that you have your tweaks in place and are enjoying good speeds, don't get greedy like the rest of use here and try tweaking it further...the results may be the opposite of what you intended!

But if you feel the urge then by all means read everything you can and tweak safely!

:D
