A72CUTLAS Posted January 18, 2006 CID Share Posted January 18, 2006 I have a 3000/384 DSL connection from SBC/ATT or whoever they are now. My download test is posted below. As you can see I'm running at 98%+ of average, but I've seen others getting more than average, or "Awesome!!" speeds. Though I live in the OK state, I'd like Awesome speeds.javascript:void(0); I've dl'd cablenut and used their generic adsl-fast settings but that actually slowed me down.javascript:void(0); I'm at a loss. javascript:void(0); ShockedPlease help me to be awesome. Any help would be appreciated. :::..

richcornucopia Posted January 18, 2006 CID Share Posted January 18, 2006 Is your pc spyware and virus free? If you running any firewall or anti virus scanners while running the test disable them to give you a more accurate result. Also post a traceroute to testmy.net : start, run, cmd, tracert testmy.net.

The AV prog I use is F-Secure and I use Ad-Monitor(Ad-Aware pkg with the F-Secure) for spyware. I have a modem with built-in router so i don't run any s/w firewall.

Jodokast96 Posted January 19, 2006 CID Share Posted January 19, 2006 You might just be too far from the CO to get faster speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A72CUTLAS Posted January 19, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 19, 2006 You may be right, though I believe I'm on an RT. On another forum I was posting with a guy who lives close to me. He's lived here for sometime and said that this area was put on an RT a few years back D/T line sync problems. Where I lived before, I was on the Expert plan, 6000/784, but it wasn't available here. Well I guess I'll have to settle for the OK speeds. Thanks to all who gave their input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodokast96 Posted January 19, 2006 CID Share Posted January 19, 2006 Either way, the distance to the RT still applies. Still, you might be able to tweak a little bit more out of it. Try this link: https://www.speedguide.net/analyzer.php and post back the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A72CUTLAS Posted January 20, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 20, 2006 Here it is: TCP options string = 020405a401010402 MTU = 1484 MTU is somewhat optimized for broadband. If you're not on a PPPoE DSL connection that limits packet size, consider increasing your MTU to 1500 for optimal throughput. MSS = 1444 Maximum useful data in each packet = 1444, which equals MSS. Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 49368 RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits Unscaled Receive Window = 49368 For optimum performance, consider changing RWIN to a multiple of MSS. Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS: 508288 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8] 254144 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4) 127072 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2) 63536 (MSS x 44) bandwidth * delay product (Note this is not a speed test): Your RcvWindow limits you to: 1974.72 kbps (246.84 KBytes/s) @ 200ms Your RcvWindow limits you to: 789.888 kbps (98.736 KBytes/s) @ 500ms MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON Time to live left = 118 hops TTL value is ok. Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 11100000 (224) Precedence (priority) = 111 (Network Control) Delay = 0 (normal delay) Throughput = 0 (normal throughput) Reliability = 0 (normal reliability) Cost = 0 (normal cost) Check bit = 0 (correct, 8th checking bit must be zero) DiffServ (RFC 2474) = CS7 111000 (56) - class 7 (RFC 2474). Similar forwarding behavior to the ToS Precedence field. I'm not familiar with most of those numbers, other than MTU & RcvWin. I've tried setting the MTU to 1492 but it stays @ the 1484 for some reason. My router MTU is set @ 1500 so maybe this is OK? If theres anything else I can tweak I'd be happy to know about it. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogers Posted January 20, 2006 CID Share Posted January 20, 2006 To check what MTU value your comp has been set, just carry out the ping check click Start/Run type "command" and press enter. At C: prompt of DOS window, type ping IP_address -f -l 1464 (IP_address of your choice) and press enter if no fragmentation occur, try again but with 1465. If fragmentation occurs, then max value is 1464 and MTU is already correctly set to 1492 (1464+28) Your RWIN is set too low for bandwidth 3000 kbps Try this ccs file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted January 20, 2006 CID Share Posted January 20, 2006 if you're testing for MTU of 1484, try: ping -f -l 1456 www.testmy.net The maximum packet size you can send is MTU - 28 (20 for IP and 8 for ICMP header info).

cholla Posted January 20, 2006 CID Share Posted January 20, 2006 I posted a topic a while back on MTU.Windows ME uses ping www.testmy.net -f -l 1472. The ping -f -l 1454 www.testmy.net is for XP & some others. The MTU - 28 is correct but if you set you MTU at 1500 then 1472 should not fragment 1473 should.This means 1500 is the correct MTU for this connection. So you need to set the MTU at 1500 to start with so iff it is supposed to be at 1500 it will not fragment at 1472 but will at 1473.Then if it does fragment at 1472 you need to keep going lower until it doesn't fragment.When it no longer fragments take that number & add 28. Take PPPoE DSL for example its MTU should be 1492. Try ping -f -l 1464 www.testmy.net for this it should not fragment. I have read some XP sets PPPoE DSL MTU at1480 if this is your case then Try ping -f -l 1452 www.testmy.net for this it should not fragment. I think you can change XPs registry so it doesn't have to use 1480 for PPPoE DSL . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A72CUTLAS Posted January 20, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 20, 2006 To Cholla, my MTU had been stuck at 1480 and in another forum someone told me about RASPPOE, so I dl'd it and thats when it moved up to 1484. I went here, https://www.speedguide.net/analyzer.php , and checked it. Also there they have an optimizer that "changed" the MTU to 1492, but the analyzer still shows as 1484. As I'm at work now, I'll do those ping test when I get home to see whats really going on. Thanks again for all the suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted January 20, 2006 CID Share Posted January 20, 2006 A72CUTLAS; Some of this may be helpful I find some conflicts of information on this .So I guess you need to try it both ways if you are having problems setting the MTU. EnablePMTUDiscovery When set to 1 (True), TCP attempts to discover MTU automatically over the path to a remote host. Setting this parameter to 0 causes MTU to default to 576 which reduces overall performance over high speed connections. OR Setting MTU overrides the default MTU for the network interface it is added to. Note that if EnablePMTUDiscovery is set to 1, TCP will use the smaller value of this local MTU and the "Discovered" MTU of the underlying network connection. If you'd rather use only the MTU value specified here, you'd have to disable PMTUDiscovery, which would prevent your system from detecting the network MTU. The above information seems to conflict. HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesTcpipParameters EnablePMTUDiscovery="1" (DWORD - boolean, valid settings are 0-->False and 1-->True. Many connections perform better with this entry at 1, however, if you prefer to set your upstream to send fixed 1500 packets, you might want to use 0 instead). When set at 1, establishing connections and initial transfer speed might slow down a bit, however you will get better throughput if somewhere in the path large packets need to be fragmented. To modify the PPPoE MTU size, create the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesNdiswan ParametersProtocols0 Then add the following registry entries.Entry name Data type Value data ProtocolType REG_DWORD 0x00000800 PPPProtocolType REG_DWORD 0x00000021 ProtocolMTU REG_DWORD the appropriate MTU size (in decimal) To do this: 1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK. 2. Locate and then click the following key in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesNdiswan Parameters 3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Key. 4. Type Protocols, and then press ENTER. 5. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Key. 6. Type 0, and then press ENTER. 7. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value. 8. Type ProtocolType, and then press ENTER. 9. On the Edit menu, click Modify. 10. Type 800, and then click OK. 11. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value. 12. Type PPPProtocolType, and then press ENTER. 13. On the Edit menu, click Modify. 14. Type 21, and then click OK. 15. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value. 16. Type ProtocolMTU, and then press ENTER. 17. On the Edit menu, click Modify. 18. Type the appropriate MTU size (decimal value), and then click OK. 19. Quit Registry Editor. Notes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
