Somebody Please Help Me With My Mtu

Post by cloudzero1 »

I have aDSL, windows xp home edition, and I have tried the patches, the TCP optomizer, as well as configuring my registry maually however the the MTU always remains at 1412. The analyser says this:
TCP options string = 0204055c0103030201010402

MTU = 1412
MTU is not fully optimized for broadband. Consider increasing your MTU to 1500 for better throughput.

MSS = 1372
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1372, which equals MSS.
MSS is not fully optimized for broadband (although it might work well for slower connections). Consider increasing your MTU value.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 256960
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 2 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 64240
For optimum performance, consider changing RWIN to a multiple of MSS.
Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
504896 (MSS x 46 * scale factor of 8)
252448 (MSS x 46 * scale factor of 4)
126224 (MSS x 46 * scale factor of 2)
63112 (MSS x 46)

bandwidth * delay product:
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 10278.4 kbps (1284.8 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 4111.36 kbps (513.92 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = OFF

Time to live left = 55 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00000000

Sombody PLEASE HELP ME!!! I'm crying just thinking over this
