VanBuren Posted March 8, 2005 CID Share Posted March 8, 2005 Can anyone tell me what "Early Tx Threshold" means, and what the setting should be? It's under my NIC properties and is currently set to 10. quote from http://www.cs.usfca.edu/~cruse/cs326/RTL8139_ProgrammersGuide.pdf "Early Tx Threshold: Specifies the threshold level in the Tx FIFO to begin the transmission. When the byte count of the data in the Tx FIFO reaches this level, (or the FIFO contains at least one complete packet) the RTL8139(A/B) will transmit this packet. 000000 = 8 bytes These fields count from 000001 to 111111 in unit of 32 bytes. This threshold must be avoided from exceeding 2K byte." try lowering the value and also try increase it, i dont think you will notice any speed increasing, but it might speed up browsing VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
