advertised speeds

[LuiKhang]

I am only getting about 80 percent of my advertised bellsouth adsl speeds. I am getting 1200/200 out of an advertised 1500/256. I would like to make it up to 90%+. Would it be my rp114 netgear router limit it?

======================================
TCP options string = 020405ac0103030001010402

MTU = 1492
MTU is optimized for PPoE DSL broadband. If not, consider raising MTU to 1500 for optimal throughput.

MSS = 1452
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1452, which equals MSS.
MSS is optimized for PPPoE DSL broadband. If not, consider raising MTU to 1500 for maximum throughput.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 63888
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 63888
RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
511104 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8)
255552 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)
127776 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)

bandwidth * delay product:
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 2555.52 kbps (319.44 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 1022.208 kbps (127.776 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 51 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00000000
==========================================

ive also tried using 65535, but i get the same results, most others hurt my speeds by a good bit.

Appreciate any help you guys can offer

Thanks

Your getting pretty much the max for a PPPoE 1500/256 connection. Your download will depend on distance to Co. or RT. You could try a lower RWIN to see if you get a little more. Do your speed test from here, http://www.speakeasy.net/main.php?page=sup_pops

What Rwin are you using Musclemanfu2?

[Musclemanfu2]

I use a RWIN of 32767 and get 1300/324, but I'm very close to my phone Co. You should try different RWIN's till you find 1 that gives you the best speed you can get from your connection. Start at 32120 and see if you get improvement in speed.

seems 63888 is the best option which get me about 1250/210 at best...but many thanks for helping muscleman :D
