got cablenut...little help

[TClite]

just downloaded cablenut and i have a dsl so i went with the dsl_fast2k css file, which updated my regitry accordingly, i retried the tcp/ip analyzer and my results are as follows :

TCP options string = 020405b40103030201010402

MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.

MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals MSS.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 255552
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 2 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 63888
For optimum performance, consider changing RWIN to 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: 10222.08 kbps (1277.76 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 4088.832 kbps (511.104 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 54 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00000000


are these the optimum settings possible for me?? its more downloading capacity im trying to increase as opposed to increasing surf speed. Also i was under the impression i had PPPoE, from these values is this not possible i.e 1500??

Those settings are WAY off for you, why did you change them? We had them set perfect from your post here (http://forums.speedguide.net/showthread.php?s=&postid=866707#post866707), and your connection is not PPPoE, it's normal DSL.:) ;)

really....geez, ill use these settings then, great!!!! will the setting above completely screw up my connection, i.e hamper it in anyway...slower

Yes, the RWIN in the Analyzer test above will only slow you down. Did you try the settings in your original post? How did they work, they should be perfect for your connection.:) :D

[TClite]

just updated my settings in cablenut to the one's in my original post, im going to try out all the extra hints you gave me

[TClite]

here are my new and hopefully improved settings

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 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: 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 = 54 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 01011100
Precedence (priority) = 010 (immediate)
Delay = 1 (low delay)
Throughput = 1 (high throughput)
Reliability = 1 (high reliability)
Cost = 0 (normal cost)

They look perfect, also try the faster web page tweak in my Help & Tips link, how is your speed now? Are web pages loading faster?:) :D

yeah gr8 thanks a lot
