Confusing Connection Speed

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone, I just got here and I'm amazed at the huge information I came up with regarding connection tweaking and stuff. :D

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? :shock:

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 8)

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  ;)

yep, its just because your too far away from the server to get an accurate result, if netmeter is telling you that your download is at 50kb/s then you are good that is about 400kbps.

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.
