Article's Nagle algorithm value different than that of the SG TCP Optimizer.

[Barcode]

As the title states, in the article TcpAckFrequency and TCPNodelay a value of 1 would disable nagling while in the TCP Optimizer app a value of 0 would disable nagling.
So which one is the right one?
Also for browsing if i want the images to load immediately rather than wait would disabling Nagle's algorithm help?

Reference from MS
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/libr ... s.10).aspx

I recommend using "Leatrix Latency Fix" to tweak TcpAckFrequency and TCPNodelay.

TcpAckFrequency=1 (disable Nagling algorithm)
TcpDelAckTicks=0 (disable Nagling algorithm) works only when Nagling is enabled !
TCPNoDelay=1 (disable Nagling algorithm)

Here is where SG TCP Optimizer is wrong set ;

TcpDelAckTicks

Specifies the time interval that defines the end of a segment stream. When this interval elapses between the receipt of TCP segments, TCP considers the segment stream to be complete, and it sends an ACK message to acknowledge the segment. Otherwise, TCP acknowledges every other segment only. This interval is used in TCP's delayed acknowledgment strategy, in accordance with RFC 1122, Requirements for Internet hosts—communication layers.

TcpDelAckTicks default value is 2 in the registry of windows 7 , which in SG TCP Optimizer shows disabled: 0
If I set this one with SG TCP Optimizer, his value will be set as 0 but in SG TCP Optimizer after restart, show default n/a instead of Disabled: 0
The odd fact is , cuz if I set in registry to 2, in SG TCP Optimizer will appear correct value Disabled: 0

Why is that ?

;Gaming config:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{GUID}]
"TcpAckFrequency"=dword:00000001
"TcpDelAckTicks"=dword:00000000
"TCPNoDelay"=dword:00000001

I'm also confuse with that Registry Settings by SG TCPO.
That's why i'm referring MS Doc & using other software to dealing with "TcpAckFrequency & TCPNodelay".

But It's not the answer for ur question. Hope ur question will answered by SG TCPO Maker.

Alright thanks guys for all your help, very much appreciated.

;Gaming config:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{GUID}]
"TcpAckFrequency"=dword:00000001
"TcpDelAckTicks"=dword:00000000
"TCPNoDelay"=dword:00000001

;Normal config:

"TcpAckFrequency"=dword:00000002
"TcpDelAckTicks"=dword:00000002

It is recommended to use first tweak only when you're gaming otherwise you are advised to turn back your modified registry for better throughput !

That MS reference is for Windows 2003. In Windows 7, the correct location is different, i.e. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{GUID}]

TcpDelAckTicks default value is 2 in the registry of windows 7 , which in SG TCP Optimizer shows disabled: 0

TcpDelAckTicks is not present by default in the Windows 7 Registry (which is interpreted as a value of 2 by Windows).

I'll look into why/if it is not reading the correct value.. Probably because it can currently only interpret the three most relevant values:
default: n/a (interpreted by Windows as 2, 200ms)
disabled: 0 (nagling disabled)
enabled: 1 (nagling enabled, 100ms)
