MTU stands for Maximum Transfer Unit. RWIN for Receive Window and TTL for Time to Live .Details are available in the documentation provided with the program. See similar questions...

Short for Maximum Transmission Unit- the largest physical packet size, measured in bytes that a network can transmit. Any messages larger than the MTU are divided into smaller packets before being sent. Ethernet limits transfers of up to 1514 (include Ethernet header) octets of data. Normally, you should leave this value as the default value. Change it only if the ISP is providing a MTU that is not optimal. See similar questions...

These are variations of the TTL flash developed by Canon. They are available on some Canon camera bodies and dedicated flash units. The differences can be summarized as follows: TTL measures light reflected off the film plane during flash exposure. Once enough light has reached the film for proper exposure, the flash pulse is cut short. A-TTL uses a pre-flash and a light sensor on the flash unit to evaluate the proper illumination needed.

The MTU setting controls the maximum ethernet packet size your PC will send. Why a limit? because although larger packets can be constructed and sent, Your ISP and Internet backbone routers and equipment will fragment any larger than their limit, then these parts are re-assembled by the target equipment before reading. This fragmentation, and re-assembly is not optimal. http://www.dslreports.com/faq/695 See similar questions...

These are generally used by people using either the parallel port on their computer, or a special purpose i/o board. We can provide cabling for either case. See similar questions...

Changing your RWIN can drastically increase performance. Whenever you change your RWIN you should always perform 2 speed tests and a tweak test to see what it has done. You can keep changing it until you hit your sweet spot. The nice people in the forums will help you find your optimum RWIN. In order to change your RWIN you should either download Dr.TCP or manually edit the registry. See similar questions...

To set the RWIN value with IPNetTuner, use the "tcp_mss_max" and "tcp_rwin_mss_multiplier" parameters. The product of these two values is the maximum RWIN size. For example, if the "tcp_mss_max" value is 2048 bytes and the other parameter is 16, the RWIN size would be The proper settings for either parameter can vary depending on the unique properties of your network connection and the remote site(s) you are tuning performance with.

The minus 28 is for the header information (IP and ICMP). If this packet size gives fragmentation errors, decrease the value until the packet is echoed without fragmentation. An MTU of 1500 (ping 1472) is the windows default value. The -f parameter sets the Don't Fragment Flag in the IP header, and -w ensures that ping waits for a reasonable amount of time for the echo packet to return. See similar questions...

Michigan Tech is deploying a new Initial Sign-On (ISO) Password that is, simply, a password to give you access to applications requiring it. It should not be set to the same password used to log into a computer in a computer lab or office. See similar questions...

Here's a simple analogy. TCP/IP takes a web page and cuts it into nice neat squares (packets). It puts each piece in an envelope with the address (header) of where it’s going for the routers to send it along its way. Then all the letters are delivered to your mailbox. So: The maximum speed of TCP/IP transfers through a SLIP (Serial Line Protocol) or PPP (Point To Point Protocol) connection is, first and foremost, limited by the speed of the modem.

You will need to use 'adb' to adjust either the kernel or the CSlip driver to change this value (slip_mtu). As root, and in single-user mode, apply this patch (please replace $THE_VALUE with the actual HEX value you want MTU to be): # Change SLIP MTU value to $THE_VALUE: just the kernel adb -w -k /unix << Foo slip_mtu?d slip_mtu?w $THE_VALUE $w $q Foo You'll need to redo this whenever the kernel is rebuilt (like via 'newunix') unless you apply the patch to /etc/install.d/boot.

The torrent's Time To Live, in weeks. It means the torrent will be deletedfrom the tracker after that many hours have elapsed (yes, even if it is still active).Note that this a maximum value, the torrent may be deleted at any time if it's inactive. See similar questions...

The DNS TTL specifies the number of seconds that a nameserver may cache a DNS entry before refreshing it from its forwarder (or ultimately, the originating) DNS server. The lower the TTL is, the prompter an IP address change will be visible world-wide. But because the entries are cached for a shorter time, more traffic will occur on our DNS server. The DNS TTL should be chosen depending on how often an IP address changes and how important it is to have that change visible within a short time. See similar questions...
