Tweaks for 1GigE LAN using TCP Optimizer v3.0.8

[tbaror]

Hello All,

I currently been asked to optimized local LAN all hosts across LAN are set to 1gigbit link.
This is a closed LAN without Internet browsing , my question is at the TCP Optimizer connection speed slide bar should i set it to max 100+Mbps?
Please advice
Thanks

What OS are the machines ?

I woudn't go too far with the TCP Optimizer connection speed slider on a LAN (even gigabit) because the latency on a LAN is very low, unlike a broadband internet connection.
Only the RWIN (TCP Window) value is affected by the connection speed slider. This buffer is a product of latency and bandwidth (bandwidth delay product, or BDP), there is a calculator of the approximate RWIN you need here: http://www.speedguide.net/bdp.php

Keep in mind that Windows 7 will auto-tune the RWIN value. You may have better luck editing your network card preferences and allowing large packets (~9000 bytes) for gigabit.
