Would like some help with my speed.

« on: January 26, 2005, 06:36:51 PM »

I just recently got an upgrade from Cox hsi. I have the 5\768 package. When I do speed tests they vary drastically from min to min. The lowest score is 3,9 and my highest is 5.1. Is there anything I can do to make my connection more consistent or is this just a affect of network congestion?
My cablenut settings are as follows:

RWIN= 655360
DefaulSendWindow=98304
GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize=128480
TCPWindowsSize=128480
DefaultTOS=240

My most recent score:

Thanks for the quick replies. My OS is WinXP SP2. The only tweaking program that I have is Cable Nut. My advertised speed is 5120\768 through Cox HSI.

hey again

1st of all your maxed out, so i dont think you will go faster, but we can try to make it more stable

load the tweakfile i attached on my previous post and post again, both Nitrotest and testmy.net up and down

looks alot better

quote "Web100 reports the Round trip time = 101.47 msec; the Packet size = 1460 Bytes; and
There were 4 packets retransmitted, 125 duplicate acks received, and 127 SACK blocks received"

only 4 packets retransmitted now compared to 24 before ;)

what you can do is to finetune TcpWindowsize and GlobalMaxTcpWindowsize

both those values should be the same, use this RWIN calculator http://www.dslnuts.com/bitsbytes.shtml

MSS is 1460

Bandwidth in kB/s = 5000/8 = 625 kB/s

latency = the worst possible ping to your gateway, when you uploading downloading at full speed, this value suppose to be between 200 and 300 for cable. I used 250 in my tweakfiles.

try a latency of 220 that give you a TcpWindowSize and GlobalMaxTcpWindowsize of 137240

good luck

Thank You for the help Very Happy

. This is the most consistent speed ive gotten. While downloading and uploading I was maxing out on a 190 ping. So would I be safer just leaving the 220ms ping figured in or should I tune it in for 190?

sweet

i would leave it like that if i was you, unless your a tweakfreak like me, then i would try the 190 ms aswell and backup this current settings first ;)

I figured it with a 200ms amount of latency..Gave myself a 10ms margin of error. Line looks like its running nearly perfectly straight and smooth on all bandwidth test sites.The lines almost as straight as a board Im not touching it anymore Very Happy

Thanks again Van you da Man.

Minute to Minute testing: Note before tweaking ,,My Min to Min testing went from 3megs back up to 5 and so on..No matter what time of day.

no problem Velocity, i like to help ;)

thanks for reporting back, and understand that its impossible to make completly perfect files that work for everyone no matter isp Very Happy

i use a ping of 250 ms in all of my files, and that cover most, but the finetuning can always make it better
