Help with my RWIN

[mrproper]

you should be able to get over 4.5Mbps with out a problem, and you are on a 5983kb file but not on a larger one. clear your cache and try this one http://www.testmy.net/tools/test/d_load.php?step1_timed=&step1_size=&step1_validation=&testall=&s=5983&st=st&ni=ni&ta=&top=&tt=1&nobar= then clear your cache and try this one http://www.testmy.net/tools/test/d_load.php?step1_timed=&step1_size=&step1_validation=&testall=&s=12160&st=st&ni=ni&ta=&top=&tt=1&nobar=

dlewis23 !! You are right. I have cleared cache an these are the results:

I don't know if the results are temporal, that is to say, if I do them again perhaps I get half speed. But you are totally right.

Have you read all the posts? I have only changed 2 parameters !! But I think I can change more. I am waiting for cholla who told me to change some values more. I don't dare to do it on my own. I prefer his instructions although your help and ideas are welcome !!

What is your opinion? Do you agrre with cholla or do you have your own (and different ideas)?

[cholla]

dlewis23 ;Here are acouple of articles I found on ADSL using MTU 1500.I didn't find the one I had gotten the information from earlier.I will look some for more if you want me too,

Use your edit/find for MTU

http://www.usr.com/support/9108/9108-ug/wui_internet.htm#option1

Authentication method is default to Automatic. It is recommended that you leave the

Authentication method in Automatic, however, you may select PAP or CHAP if necessary.

The default value for MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) is 1500 for PPPoA and 1492 for PPPoE.

Do not change these values unless your ISP asks you to.

http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/index.cfm?a=wiki&tag=ADSL_Theory_PPP

Point to Point Protocol (PPP) is, as it's name suggests, a protocol for establishing a link

between two points. In the case of ADSL it's between your modem or PC to our BRAS

(Broadband Remote Access Server - the PPP server). PPP isn't technically required for an

ADSL connection, the internet could run straight over the ADSL's ATM network. PPP is used on

most of ADSL connection because of the legacy of dialup; an authorisation/accounting system

is needed and PPP is the defacto standard.

PPP can be run in two different ways and the preferred style is dependant on your ISPs set

up. PPPoE is best if they run an ethernet link between the DSLAM and BRAS, PPPoA is better

if they are running an ATM network between the DSLAM and BRAS.

Why the difference? Maximum Transmissable Unit (MTU) is the largest individual data packet

that can be sent over a network, in the case of Ethernet it's 1500, in the case of ATM it's

not limited. What this means is that as the packet passes from ADSL to Ethernet is can

exceed Ethernet's MTU and be dropped. By forcing PPPoE your modem forces the packets to stay

with in Ethernet's 1500 MTU limit. That said PPPoA is marginally more effiecient with

overheads and processing by both ends.

ADSL - Asyncronous Digital Subscriber Line - what this is all about

ATM - Asyncronous Transfer Mode - a network protocol used by ADSL

PPPOA - Point-to-Point Protocol Over ATM

PPPOE - Point-to-Point Protocol Over Ethernet

[cholla]

mrproper;Those settings are a starting point.I want you to try these in CableNut.I think you have a couple the way you want them but I'm putting them in to make sure.Give these a try .remember to restart after "save to the registry "in Cablenut.

DefaultReceiveWindow =  16384           

DefaultSendWindow    =  16384

TcpWindowSize        =  17520

GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize= 17520

TcpRecvSegmentSize  =  1460 

TcpSendSegmentSize  =  1460

DefaultTOSValue          =          0

DefaultTTL                  =      128

EnablePMTUDiscovery  =        0

Then check with the TCPIP Analyzer to mak sure its reading the new RWIN & That it detactes the MTU as 1500.

Then come to testmy .Clear your cache & test.

[mrproper]

I have made all your changes, rebooted and made tcp analizer test. I paste you this last screen so that you can see the recommendations they do.

I have cleared cache at each speed test. I paste you the results for a 7,3 Mb file (twice) and for a 20,5 Mb file (once).

The tests have been made against a server in USA. If I should do them against another one closer to me, let me know.

Very bad results. Perhaps the server is very busy or your local time or my local time is busy.

I thing something is wrong. SOS !!

[cholla]

mrproper ;I wanted to see how you did with all the RWIN settings small.I think we need to step it to quite a bit larger now.You can try a test a a mirror ot one of the sites you do a large download from .I suspect those will be slow also.

But I needed to start some where because too large an RWIN is bad also.

So now try these.65536

DefaultReceiveWindow =  65536            

DefaultSendWindow    =  65536

TcpWindowSize        =  64240

GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize= 64240

See if the speed goes up also try an upload test.

[mrproper]

I attach new screen of TCP analyzer (see the messages!!)

[mrproper]

I copy you part of the test of TCP Analyzer because it doesn't read vere well.

Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) = 65536

RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 1 bits (scale factor of 2)

Unscaled TCP Receive Window = 32768

RWIN is not fully optimized (even though it is a comparatively large number). The unscaled RWIN value is lower than it should be. Also, RWIN being close to and above 65535 does not justify the header overhead of enabling TCP 1323 Options. You might want to use one of the recommended RWIN values below.

For optimum performance, consider changing RWIN to a multiple of MSS.

Other RWIN values that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:

513920 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of

256960 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)

128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)

64240 (MSS x 44)

[cholla]

mrproper;I read the messages in the screen shot.The TCPIP Analyzer makes the wrong recomendation for RWIN in Windows XP.Because the base all of them on MSS.

They would be correct about the scaling if I wasn't going to have you go larger now.

You can see the speed took a step uo from the first settings.I think this is what you will continue to see until it gets too large.So lets go another step up.

DefaultReceiveWindow =  131072         

DefaultSendWindow    =  131072

TcpWindowSize        =  128480

GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize= 128480

[mrproper]

Ok, I trust totally in you. I am doing everything you are telling me.

TcpWindowSize        =  128480

GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize= 128480

Those values are the same I had before the experiments. So we are changing the other two values (increasing them).

Best results than before:

mrproper;I'm just going up in size with the RWIN using the correct calculations for them.VanBuren knows a lot more about some of this than me but it's hard to get him to devote the time.So I'm having you take it up till we see a speed drop.Then we will go back down a little.After this I need to find more about adjusting the 3 buffer sizes in CableNut to help with those.

I think we should begin to see a slow down in the upload first.Since there is so much difference in your upload & download.

So try these.

mrproper;That's fine.I would be tired too.It's only 9:00 PM in Texas right now.

It looks like the Download is steadily coming up & more consistent.The upload has about leveled.I'm going to put the next settings in .You don't have to use them until your ready

Get some sleep.

DefaultReceiveWindow =  393216           

DefaultSendWindow    =  393216

TcpWindowSize        =  385440

GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize= 385440

Ok, I am working now (it's 12:10 p.m.) but when arriving at home I will apply the new values.

It is a pity. I would have liked to continue yesterday, because today results might be different (the line might be slower or more quickly today than yesterday) so it would have been more interesting to have done it the same day. But I was very tired and I hardly sleeped today.

One thing, why do you change all four values at the same time? Why don't you leave constant two values and change the other two?

MrProper 

[cholla]

mrproper;I don't mind explaining my method.First there is no site that has a real how to on doing this.So I think this is the best method based on what I know.

These 3 are RWIN settings:

DefaultReceiveWindow

TcpWindowSize     

GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize

These affect the download you are able to recieve.The first one is calculated with AFD parameters & the next 2 are calculated based on MSS which is MTU minus 40.

The minus 40 comes from bytes in the datagram header that basically tell the Internet how to handle the data contained in the datagram.The amount left is the data you recieve which is the MSS.In your case 1460 bytes.

The reason I change these every time is I believe they should be as close as the calculations will let them be to the same size.Otherwise if for whatever reason your computer OS routed the datagrams to a lot smaller RWIN because 2 of them were left a lot smaller then it would slow the download.

This setting is actually the send window it effects upload.

DefaultSendWindow

When it hits is best speed we will quite changing it with the others.We may even try it smaller after the RWIN values reach their fastest.

I hope that explains it well enough.

[mrproper]

I only asked because I thought the parameters that determined RWIN were exclusively two: TcpWindowSize and GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize.

I knew that the other one (DefaultReceiveWindow) was involved in download speed and it should be as high as possible but without fragmenting the packets.

DefaultSendWindow parameter is involved in upload speed (the same as DefaultReceiveWindow but with upload speed) but is involved indirectly in download speed (because a wrong value - too high or too low - slows down your downloads).

That is what I thought after reading a lot, and you must be aware that I din't know anything before coming to testmy.net. So I am learning very much and I am very grateful for teaching me so much.

I have repeated the tests before applying new changes so that we can compare results at the same time. The other day in Spain it was midnight and now it's 15:25.

mrproper;First I wanted to further explain this DefaultReceiveWindow,TcpWindowSize &GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize are all RWIN.RWIN is just short for receive window.The difference is in Windows XP the DefaultReceiveWindow which is Windows XP's first chioce to use is based on AFD parameters.TcpWindowSize & GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize are based on TCPIP parameters.These are used if your connection is using TCPIP & it probably does for some of the Internet you connect to.

The server time when you did the tests before the last settingwas 6:30 PM the server test time.The last ones at 6:00 AM server time.I really don't know why they were slower with the previous settings.I think you still need to try a couple of larger settings to see if this improves your speed.The send wimdow has about leveled so we will leave it for now & actually make it smaller after the best RWIN is determined.

DefaultReceiveWindow =  524288

mrproper ;Those may be too large it seems to have slowed down.So go back to the previous ones.I think they are close to best you are going to get.I could come up with a couple in between to fine tune it .Before you move these back down though try to time a large download with these & then the previous settings .Like you were doing in earlier posts.I think it was a 250MB download.I could go back & check but I think you get the idea.

Just to make sure that you are not tweaking just to the test but also to a real function that you use.

[mrproper]

Before clearing current values I will download two large files simultaneously with Flashget.

I will go back to previous values and I will do it again and compare.

Afterwards you can fine my connection a bit more if you think it is possible.

I am working now, so I will do it in two or three hours. See you later.

By the way, don't you use MSN, Sonork or any messenger program? I think it would be easier at this moment to communicate in this way (we are changing constantly values and we would need sometimes a real time communication).
