64K RWIN is too small and inefficient for most high bandwidth bandbroad connection (cable, DSL T1, T3, fiber etc) this present today.

No it is not. It depends on your line rate.

What if cable companies keeps increasing more bandwidth in future? Comcast have promised to increase to 100Mbits broadband in 2010? Then 64K RWIN buffer is too small and inefficient that's it. That is not about local area network, It is about wide area network as internet.

When 100mb/s comes around, then go nuts on the RWIN. Right now 64240 is plenty in many cases.

BTW, RWIN has nada to do with a LAN - it is an Internet only setting.

What if I start with pinging to google site? that would be 1ms RTT traveling through routers of internet that would be overkill that is not happening, Irish. Most of internet does 50ms RTT to 100ms RTT that 64K RWIN is still small buffer and inefficient for speed of internet bandwidth so get a clue. Come on it's a truth, dude.


That is no 1ms RTT that means 64K RWIN buffer is not enough at 50ms RTT or above across routers of internet.
