Verizon Tweaking Help...Crap Download and Upload

Post by dslplaya »

MNOSTEELE52 PLEASE HELP. I have the worst DSL in the world and want to optimize it to make it quicker. If you can even double my speeds from 100 to 200 i will seriously send you a 50 dollar check. Im desperate. My dsl is advertised at 768.

I am on Verizon DSL and uses PPOoE. My verizon says i should be able to get 768/128

Im running Windows XP and am using a Linksys router, but am willing to un-network for Exceptional speeds.

I normally can never get a download over 90k, and a upload over 15k but here are my speed tests:

Speed tests average out to around 85k download.

Here is my TCP/IP Analazyer. Hope you guys can figure something out. I need a better download. Thanks

TCP/IP Analazer:


TCP properties for IP = XXXXXXX(evrtwa1-ar13-X-XX-XXX-XXX.evrtwa1.dsl-verizon.net)
Browser/OS = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Note: Read the FAQ if the above is not your IP address.

TCP options string = 020405ac0103030201010402

MTU = 1492
MTU is optimized for PPoE DSL broadband. If not, consider raising MTU to 1500 for optimal throughput.

MSS = 1452
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1452, which equals MSS.
MSS is optimized for PPPoE DSL broadband. If not, consider raising MTU to 1500 for maximum throughput.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 255552
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 2 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 63888
RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
511104 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8)
127776 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)
63888 (MSS x 44)

bandwidth * delay product:
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 10222.08 kbps (1277.76 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 4088.832 kbps (511.104 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 53 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 01011100
Precedence (priority) = 010 (immediate)
Delay = 1 (low delay)
Throughput = 1 (high throughput)
Reliability = 1 (high reliability)
Cost = 0 (normal cost)

My comp is.....
AMD 1.2 Ghz
80 Gig HD
Linksys Router
Belkin Ethernet
512 Memory
64 meg video

Go here and read Mnosteele's tips. Pay particular attention to the Cablenut settings and the registry setting under #6.

Based on your upload/download speeds and your operating system, I would try the following settings:

DefaultReceiveWindow - 98304
DefaultSendWindow - 16384
TcpRecvSegmentSize - 1452
TcpSendSegmentSize - 1452

Hey,
On MNOSTEEL52 help list how do you do the following step....


Also add the following entry to your registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic
es\AFD\Parameters

Add the parameter BufferMultiplier and give it a value of 400 hexidecimal which will make it 1024.

Thanks

Left-click directly on the Parameters folder to expose its entries in the right pane.

Right-click an empty space in the right pane, then left-click New - DWORD.

Type in BufferMultiplier, then press Enter.

Right-click on BufferMultiplier, then click Modify.

Select "hexidecimal", type in 400, then left-click OK.

It will appear as 0x00000400(1024).

Close the registry and reboot.

dslplaya, try the following settings in Cablenut:

DefaultReceiveWindow = 192512
DefaultSendWindow = 16384
DisableAddressSharing = 1
InitialLargeBufferCount = 100
InitialMediumBufferCount = 240
InitialSmallBufferCount = 320
LargeBufferSize = 81920
MaxFastTransmit = 64000
MediumBufferSize = 15040
PriorityBoost = 0
SmallBufferSize = 1280
TransmitWorker = 32
FastSendDatagramThreshold = 4096
EnableFastRouteLookup = 1
EnablePMTUDiscovery = 1
IgnorePushBitsOnReceive = 0
GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize = 37752 or 52272 or 63888
MaxFreeTcbs = 8000
MaxHashTableSize = 16384
MaxNormLookupMemory = 5000000
SackOpts = 1
SynAttackProtect = 1
Tcp1323Opts = 0
TcpLogLevel = 1
TcpMaxDupAcks = 2
TcpMaxHalfOpen = 100
TcpMaxHalfRetried = 80
TcpRecvSegmentSize = 1452
TcpSendSegmentSize = 1452
TcpTimedWaitDelay = 30
TcpUseRFC1122UrgentPointer = 0
TcpWindowSize = 37752 or 52272 or 63888
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server = 20
MaxConnectionsPerServer = 10
DefaultTTL = 64
DisableUserTOSSetting = 0
TcpMaxDataRetransmissions = 6
DefaultTOSValue = 92


Also add the following line to your registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AFD\Parameters

BufferMultiplier - DWORD - hexidecimal value of 400.

Also set your NIC duplex mode to 100mb full duplex and read the DSL Wiring Article. Something else to keep in mind.... your caps are 1500/128 - that is in kilobits per second but when you download and upload it is shown in kilobytes per second which would be 188/16 kilobytes per second. Try the above settings and let me know how they work for you.

No luck

Post by dslplaya »

Hey.... No luck with the speed changes. Same old thing.
I only tried the first number on these too:
GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize = 37752 or 52272 or 63888
TcpWindowSize = 37752 or 52272 or 63888

Would it make a big difference to try the other ones. Also im on a router. Do you think that makes a difference?

Thanks and anymore suggestions.

Try them all and make sure you have the latest firmware for your router. Also remember you are sharing your bandwidth with the other pc's on the on the router, what are your current speed test results? :) ;)

dslplaya I apologize, I reread your original post because someone pointed out to me I had your caps wrong, try the following settings in Cablenut:

DefaultReceiveWindow = 98304
DefaultSendWindow = 16384
DisableAddressSharing = 1
InitialLargeBufferCount = 100
InitialMediumBufferCount = 240
InitialSmallBufferCount = 320
LargeBufferSize = 81920
MaxFastTransmit = 64000
MediumBufferSize = 15040
PriorityBoost = 0
SmallBufferSize = 1280
TransmitWorker = 32
FastSendDatagramThreshold = 1024
EnableFastRouteLookup = 1
EnablePMTUDiscovery = 1
IgnorePushBitsOnReceive = 0
GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize = 23232 or 31944 or 46464
MaxFreeTcbs = 8000
MaxHashTableSize = 16384
MaxNormLookupMemory = 5000000
SackOpts = 1
SynAttackProtect = 1
Tcp1323Opts = 0
TcpLogLevel = 1
TcpMaxDupAcks = 2
TcpMaxHalfOpen = 100
TcpMaxHalfRetried = 80
TcpRecvSegmentSize = 1452
TcpSendSegmentSize = 1452
TcpTimedWaitDelay = 30
TcpUseRFC1122UrgentPointer = 0
TcpWindowSize = 23232 or 31944 or 46464
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server = 10
MaxConnectionsPerServer = 8
DefaultTTL = 64
DisableUserTOSSetting = 0
TcpMaxDataRetransmissions = 6
DefaultTOSValue = 92

Also remember that your caps are 768/128 kilobits per second or 96/16 kilobytes per second and your goal is 90% of that.

90Kilobytes per second is about the average caps for a 768 kbps/128 kbps dl/ul package.
if you want double just buy the 1.5Mbps/256Kbps
