CTCP attempts to maximize throughput by monitoring delay variations and packet loss.

This new implementation works much better by default than previous Windows versions with broadband internet connections, and is able to adjust the RWIN value on the fly, depending on the BDP (bandwidth-delay product).

This, however, introduces some problems with older routers and restricts the user from tweaking some of the TCPIP parameters.

To enter some of the commands below, you will need to run elevated command prompt.

To do so, click the Start icon Run type: cmd, then click CTRLSHIFTENTER.

Alternatively, you can navigate to Start All Programs Accessories right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator.

Check the TCPIP state To check the current status of the Vista TCPIP tweakable parameters, in elevated command prompt type the following command: netsh int tcp show global You will be presented with something like the following: The settings, as well as their default and recommended state are explained below.

The two most important tweakable parameters are Auto-Tuning Level and Congestion Control Provider.

When checking the TCP state with the netsh int tcp show global command, it is also possible to see the following message below all those parameters: The above autotuninglevel setting is the result of Windows Scaling heuristics overriding any localpolicy configuration on at least one profile.

It is displayed when the Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level is not explicitly set, or if the system deemed it necessary to make a change because of user prompted repairing of your network connection, for example.

Disable Windows Scaling heuristics Windows Vista7 has the ability to automatically change its own TCP Window auto-tuning behavior to a more conservative state regardless of any user settings.

It is possible for Windows to override the autotuninlevel even after an user sets their custom TCP auto-tuning level.

When that behavior occurs, it can have a very noticeable negative impact on throughput, and it does not automatically correct itself.

If auto-tuning gets limited, the netsh int tcp show global command displays the following message: The above autotuninglevel setting is the result of Windows Scaling heuristics overriding any localpolicy configuration on at least one profile.

To prevent that behavior and enforce any user-set TCP Window auto-tuning level, you should execute the following command: netsh int tcp set heuristics disabled possible settings are: disabled,enabled,default (sets to the Windows default state) recommended: disabled (to retain user-set auto-tuning level) Note this should be executed in elevated command prompt (with admin priviledges) before setting the autotuninlevel in next section.

TCP Auto-Tuning To turn off the default RWIN auto tuning behavior, (in elevated command prompt) type: netsh int tcp set global autotuningleveldisabled The default auto-tuning level is normal, and the possible settings for the above command are: disabled: uses a fixed value for the tcp receive window.

It enables RWIN values of over 16 MB) Our recommendation: normal (unless youre experiencing problems).

See MSKB 935400 - netsh set commands take effect immediately after executing, there is no need to reboot.

For broadband internet connections that combine high TCP Window with higher latency (high BDP ), these algorithms do not increase the TCP windows fast enough to fully utilize the bandwidth of the connection.

Compound TCP ( CTCP ) is a newer method, available in Vista and Server 2008 (there is also a hotfix available for XP x64 and 2003 Server - MSKB 949316 ).

CTCP increases the TCP send window more aggressively for broadband connections (with large RWIN and BDP).
