It appears to improve bandwidth calculation to allow for better transfer of large files.
In order to improve the accuracy of the bandwidth calculation TCP can use Timestamps attached to packages. I have used telnet on the med500 and found that it also has timestamps enabled. You do this using the following command:- cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps, and get the return 1. So i have enabled timstamps on my PC using the following command:- netsh int tcp set global timestamps=enabled This seems to keep the bandwidth more stable. It may seem counter intuitive to improve thoughput by adding administrative overhead but it appears to work. |

TCP timestamps will not improve or change anything related to the performance of TCP sessions. TCP timestamp is used for applications and/or network monitoring tool to capture round trip time...latency. This option puts 10B (I think) in the TCP header set by the host.

Quoted:
netsh int tcp set global timestamps=enabled Whats that do? Corp spying? lol The real question should be "Why didn't they make this change on my machine without me knowing?". |

It's obviously an attempt to out you as a 'l33t hack3r', since you know how to get to a command prompt.
