if you adjust the window size on the sending and receiving systems, you can improve this, but this solution is impractical, as you would need to get everyone on the internet (or at least all of the webservers and websurfers you are servicing) to make adjustments to their local TCP stack.
there are 3rd party solutions which can improve the throughput, but even with those, there are still speed of light issues which will cause individual throughput limitations.
RFC1323 support is a 3rd party solution, or does it not solve all the problem here?
its been a while since i looked at it, but i seem to recall there was a lack of implementation/adhereance to that RFC in windows TCP stacks. i think for RFC1323 to be effective, it needs to be working on the sending and receiving systems, not just the intermediary routers. -- [ Jim Mercer jim@reptiles.org +1 416 410-5633 ] [ I want to live forever, or die trying. ]
