nikoy Posted August 29, 2006 CID Share Posted August 29, 2006 Hi Everyone, I just got here and I'm amazed at the huge information I came up with regarding connection tweaking and stuff. My problem is about my 512kbps DSL connection on Globelines Broadband here at the Philippines. This drop in connection speed just happend about a week ago. My Netmeter says that my UL is at 22.5kb/s and DL is at 55.4kb/s but when I ran speed tests here my stat goes like this: :::.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 45 Kbps about 0.05 Mbps (tested with 97 kB) Download Speed is:: 5 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 38 Kbps about 0.04 Mbps (tested with 97 kB) Upload Speed is:: 5 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Server 1) Test Time:: 2006/08/29 - 9:24am D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-6WOKH2AC4 U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-YZS7HQF5C User Agent:: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6 [!] isnt that like the shittiest connection speed you've ever seen? My TCP/IP analyzer test was this: TCP options string = 0204059801010402 MTU = 1472 MTU is not fully optimized for broadband. Consider increasing your MTU to 1500 for better throughput. If you are using a router, it could be limiting your MTU regardless of Registry settings. MSS = 1432 Maximum useful data in each packet = 1432, which equals MSS. Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) = 18616 RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits Unscaled TCP Receive Window = 18616 RWIN is a multiple of MSS Other RWIN values that might work well with your current MTU/MSS: 504064 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 252032 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4) 126016 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2) 63008 (MSS x 44) bandwidth * delay product (Note this is not a speed test): Your TCP Window limits you to: 744.64 kbps (93.08 KBytes/s) @ 200ms Your TCP Window limits you to: 297.856 kbps (37.232 KBytes/s) @ 500ms Consider increasing your RWIN value to optimize TCP/IP for broadband. MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON Time to live left = 120 hops TTL value is ok. Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 00000000 (0) I already applied Van Muren's Cablenut settings but i only get occassional speed bursts and nothing more. Tried TCPIP Optimizer but that didnt help either. Any Ideas why this could be happening? BTW my linksys router states that my encapsulation is set at PPPoA VC-MUX, what does that mean? I've read that Cablenut settings and TCP optimizers work only on PPPoE. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted August 29, 2006 CID Share Posted August 29, 2006 nikoy welcome to the forum. the reason your speed test results are so much slower then what your netmeter says is because your are going a very long distance to the test server. Run a trace route to testmy.net and post your results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikoy Posted August 29, 2006 Author CID Share Posted August 29, 2006 thank you very much. I feel better now. BTW one more thing.. can you enlighten my question about PPPoA on my router? will the cablenut and the TCP optimizers work on this type of encapsulation? how do i convert it to PPPoE and is it recommended? thanks again.

Nos7667 Posted August 30, 2006 CID Share Posted August 30, 2006 If you have DSL usually there is a dial up backup when the company is doing maintenance, this could have been what was happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
