Topic: Help with tweaking my connection.

[hippie]

Hi, my name is Zac:
Cable Modem
My provider is blueridge cable or ptd, which can be found here: http://www.blueridgecable.com and the advertised speed is 800/800.

i'm getting about 600-750 on the tests.  I only download at about 50-90 kbp/s.

I have Windows XP.  I do have a linksys router sharing the connection among 3 computers, which are not always on.

Here is my results for the TCP Test:
TCP properties for IP = xxxxxxxx()
Browser/OS = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Note: Read the Analyzer FAQ if the above is not your IP address.


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) = 17520
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 17520

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
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: 700.8 kbps (87.6 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 280.32 kbps (35.04 KBytes/s) @ 500ms
Consider increasing your RWIN value to optimize TCP/IP for broadband.
MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON
Time to live left = 52 hops

TTL value is ok.
Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF
Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON
IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 00000000

Hi Hippie, try using these settings, don't forget to save to registry and reboot, and btw 90kB/s as reported by IE is 720kbps.  You are confusing kiloBITS and kiloBYTES.
