Broadband and Daryna(grin)

Post by fixrman »

I have noticed that with Daryna, my page loading speeds are less, as are speed tests at http://www.broadbandreports.com, something I attribute to default settings.

The RWIN for Daryna is reported as being 204416, which is way too high. The MTU reports as being 1488, but according BBR, it is actually not taking into account the header of 12, which would make the MTU 1500. I'd like to set the RWIN to 67735 and see what happens. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Take a look at this

but don't do anything
This is different from Windows - RWIN is set dynamically, don't know about MTU

I'd have to agree with your advice not to change anything. I have to admit that my broadband tweaking is mostly due to using Windows from the 9x days and having issues with service being slow. There is a GUI-based utility, but I see what the author is talking about regarding scaling. BBR reports that my RWIN is 204416, but that may be a max only; it seems it is dependent upon packet size sent.

I'll do a bit more research on this before I make any changes. I'd be over my head anyway. I will say that when I boot into 2K, page loading is faster. Perhaps that has more to do with the Firefox version than the OS. Thanks for the reply. :)
