What DSLReports.com Said

[JamieLee2k]

After doing a test on DSLReports.com

Your Tweakable Settings:

Receive Window (RWIN): 256960
Window Scaling: 2
Path MTU Discovery: ON
RFC1323 Window Scaling: ON
RFC1323 Time Stamping: OFF
Selective Acks: ON
MSS requested: 1460
TTL: 65
(less any hops behind firewall)
TTL remaining: 51

This is what it told me,
(Problem)Choose RWIN between 5840 and 13140

Example 146000 byte download

Actual data bytes sent: 176660
Actual data packets: 121
Max size packet sent: 1500
Max size packet recd: 1500
Retransmitted data packets: 21
sacks you sent: 11
pushed data pkts: 4
data transmit time: 1.743 secs
our max idletime: 358.9 ms
transfer rate: 68107 bytes/sec
transfer rate: 544 kbits/sec
This is not a speed test!
transfer efficiency: 82%

This is what it told me,
(Problem)Some re-transmissions seen

ICMP (ping) check

Minimum ping: 90 ms
Maximum ping: 110 ms
Ping stability:
100 91 91 110 91 90 91 100 90 92

This is what it told me,
(Something Good)Looking good

Can someone tell me what they think?
I have win2k ntlworld (http://www.ntlworld.com) with patches installed from Speedguide (http://www.speedguide.net)

Good Morning! Everything that is shown on your test result looks good. How does the speed seem to be for you? DSLreports prefers a smaller recieve window. If you've done a line quality test from them, you'll probably find that one router (Most likely furthest away from you) will show a ?100% loss of packets. Why this is and what router it is, is unknown to me. If it makes you feel any better, I get the same results. I believe that there is a congestion problem somewhere between us and them, but I'm sure that I have better then 82% efficiency on my transmit! If you still feel the need to experiment, try turning off scaling and retaking the test or use a smaller RWIN. Personally, I wouldn't worry about it unless your having problems. :)
