Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) Every router on the Internet has an MTU. If the MTU is exceeded, the segment will need to be fragmented. That will slow down your transmission speed. Ideally, your MTU setting should be slightly smaller than the lowest intermediary router MTU setting. Maximum Segment Size (MSS) The beginning of each TCP (transmission control protocol) transfer includes an announcement by the TCP requester for the MSS. The TCP sender may use any segment size it prefers, as long as it doesn't exceed the MSS. If this TCP segment size is small enough to fit into the smallest MTU encountered en-route, it will pass unfragmented. Receive Window (RWIN) The TCP receiver sets the RWIN, which is the limit on the amount of data (number of TCP segments) that the TCP sender is allowed to have outstanding on the Internet, pending its receipt of ACK (acknowledgement of receipt) signals from the TCP receiver. Leo found us this excellent link from the Navas Group. It contains everything you'd ever want to know about speeding up your cable modem. Visit Speedguide.net for pre-configured patches and other utilities to help you tweak your cable modem. To monitor your connection speed to the Internet, use
a free program by AnalogX called
NetStat Live. A more rudimentary way to get quick
numbers on response time and speed to a website is to
get a DOS and
