Ping

SUPAJAwS1 · Post by **SUPAJAwS1** » Fri Sep 28, 2001 6:21 pm

I play many online games and am looking to lower my pink(latency) for better gameplay. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

heres my cpu info

TCP options string = 020405b401010402

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) = 8760
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 8760
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: 350.4 kbps (43.8 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 140.16 kbps (17.52 KBytes/s) @ 500ms
Consider increasing your RWIN value to optimize TCP/IP for broadband.

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 114 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00000000

What is your connection and what is it RATED at?

your recieve window looks a lil low but we'll decide that after knowing your rated connection.

Have you tested your connection at sites?

Joe · Post by **Joe** » Fri Sep 28, 2001 9:10 pm

What kind of connection? Cable, DSL, college LAN or other?

And what is the RATED line speed at? As in what are you PAYING for?

if you dont know this Im gonna have to smack you because it is just plain dumb to buy something and not know a damn thing about it.

Ok, now we know what it is...

I still dont know what speeds the company sold you..

Like my cable package is 512kbit down / 128kbit up

see what im saying?

What was your package?

What website did you order from?

And yes rwin (recieve window) looks low like i said but its kinda pointless to adjust it until we know what your cable is rated at.

get the patches from this site and try them... might help... might make it worse... make sure to get default settings patch as well.

use the top menu to get to them

get those patches man... then try it.

and try gaming

you are probably joining servers that are slow... not you..

get the patch to raise your rwin and see what happens.

heres my connection speed

245.9 kbps

where can i get that rwin patch?

Joe · Post by **Joe** » Sat Sep 29, 2001 8:23 pm

Use the Above menu...

click cable modems--> tweaks and patches--> pick your OS and download.

SUPAJAwS1 · Post by **SUPAJAwS1** » Sat Sep 29, 2001 8:39 pm

anything else i could do? those seemed to slow it down...

Joe · Post by **Joe** » Sun Sep 30, 2001 12:00 pm

get the default settings patch from the same spot as the patch you got.

SUPAJAwS1 · Post by **SUPAJAwS1** » Sun Sep 30, 2001 1:29 pm

how can i increase my RWIN value without the patch? and whut should i increase it to?

Loots · Post by **Loots** » Mon Oct 01, 2001 4:28 am

I´ve would have suggested that you´d go to http://www.tweakfiles.com and get rasaccelerator or some similar small freware,but they have been closed down.And that´s not cool.There are several other freewares that can change rwin and other settings real easy.
If you search for freewares include"maxmtu" "cache size" i suggest.

Test your upload and Download speed here

Applying the registry patches from Speedguide should help your Bandwidth. Improving your Bandwidth increases the amount of data you can send/receive, example your 245.9 kbps will probably double after you apply the patch.

Your ping time is more related to your ISP. Plus the distance you are from your ISP. Plus how many people your ISP has thru it.

Obviously things that will help you have a consistant ping time are, A fast puter with at least 128ram, a good ethernet card, and good cables and connections.
