1. SG Vista TCP/IP Patch - NOT required if using the TCP Optimizer Description: The SG Vista TCP/IP patch us a quick way to optimize Vista TCP/IP settings for broadband internet connections. It sets both netsh auto tunning levels and modifies the Windows Registry as recommended by our Vista Tweaks article.
2. TCP/IP performance tuning for Azure VMs. This article discusses common TCP/IP performance tuning techniques and some things to consider when you use them for virtual machines running on Azure. It will provide a basic overview of the techniques and explore how they can be tuned.

TCP tuning techniques adjust the network congestion avoidance parameters of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connections over high-bandwidth, high-latency networks. Well-tuned networks can perform up to 10 times faster in some cases.^[1] However, blindly following instructions without understanding their real consequences can hurt performance as well.

Mar 29, 2010  TCP Auto-Tuning To turn off the default RWIN auto tuning behavior, (in elevated command prompt) type: netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled 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. Limits it to 64KB (limited at 65535). Aug 12, 2016 Auto-tuning is consistent throughout all variants of TCP and present in all modern operating systems. In the modern Internet the range of latencies and throughput speeds that must be accommodated is simply too large to manage statically and must be adjusted dynamically. A TCP SYN packet is retransmitted more than one time over the TCP connection. The TCP connection is created by a client that does not support the TCP window scaling feature. For example, the TCP connection is created by a computer that is running Windows XP.

Jan 11, 2018  Auto Tuning adjusts the receive windows size continually based upon the changing network conditions. This usually happens if you have a network device (EX: Router, modem, etc.) that doesn’t support RFC 1323 “TCP Extensions for High Performance”. The Receive Window Auto-Tuning feature lets the operating system continually monitor routing conditions such as bandwidth, network delay, and application delay. Therefore, the operating system can configure connections by scaling the TCP receive window to maximize the network performance.

Network and system characteristics[edit]

Bandwidth-delay product (BDP)[edit]

Bandwidth-delay product (BDP) is a term primarily used in conjunction with TCP to refer to the number of bytes necessary to fill a TCP 'path', i.e. it is equal to the maximum number of simultaneous bits in transit between the transmitter and the receiver.

High performance networks have very large BDPs. To give a practical example, two nodes communicating over a geostationary satellite link with a round-trip delay time (or round-trip time, RTT) of 0.5 seconds and a bandwidth of 10 Gbit/s can have up to 0.5×10¹⁰bits, i.e., 5 Gbit = 625 MB of unacknowledged data in flight. Despite having much lower latencies than satellite links, even terrestrial fiber links can have very high BDPs because their link capacity is so large. Operating systems and protocols designed as recently as a few years ago when networks were slower were tuned for BDPs of orders of magnitude smaller, with implications for limited achievable performance.

Buffers[edit]

The original TCP configurations supported TCP receive window sizebuffers of up to 65,535 (64 KiB - 1) bytes, which was adequate for slow links or links with small RTTs. Larger buffers are required by the high performance options described below.

Buffering is used throughout high performance network systems to handle delays in the system. In general, buffer size will need to be scaled proportionally to the amount of data 'in flight' at any time. For very high performance applications that are not sensitive to network delays, it is possible to interpose large end to end buffering delays by putting in intermediate data storage points in an end to end system, and then to use automated and scheduled non-real-time data transfers to get the data to their final endpoints.

TCP speed limits[edit]

Maximum achievable throughput for a single TCP connection is determined by different factors. One trivial limitation is the maximum bandwidth of the slowest link in the path. But there are also other, less obvious limits for TCP throughput. Bit errors can create a limitation for the connection as well as RTT.

Window size[edit]

In computer networking, RWIN (TCP Receive Window) is the amount of data that a computer can accept without acknowledging the sender. If the sender has not received acknowledgement for the first packet it sent, it will stop and wait and if this wait exceeds a certain limit, it may even retransmit. This is how TCP achieves reliable data transmission.

Even if there is no packet loss in the network, windowing can limit throughput. Because TCP transmits data up to the window size before waiting for the acknowledgements, the full bandwidth of the network may not always get used. The limitation caused by window size can be calculated as follows:

${\displaystyle \mathrm{T}\mathrm{h}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{g}\mathrm{h}\mathrm{p}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{t}\le \frac{\mathrm{R}\mathrm{W}\mathrm{I}\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{R}\mathrm{T}\mathrm{T}}}$

where RWIN is the TCP Receive Window and RTT is the round-trip time for the path.

At any given time, the window advertised by the receive side of TCP corresponds to the amount of free receive memory it has allocated for this connection. Otherwise it would risk dropping received packets due to lack of space.

The sending side should also allocate the same amount of memory as the receive side for good performance. That is because, even after data has been sent on the network, the sending side must hold it in memory until it has been acknowledged as successfully received, just in case it would have to be retransmitted. If the receiver is far away, acknowledgments will take a long time to arrive. If the send memory is small, it can saturate and block emission. A simple computation gives the same optimal send memory size as for the receive memory size given above.

Packet loss[edit]

When packet loss occurs in the network, an additional limit is imposed on the connection.^[2] In the case of light to moderate packet loss when the TCP rate is limited by the congestion avoidance algorithm, the limit can be calculated according to the formula (Mathis, et al.):

${\displaystyle \mathrm{T}\mathrm{h}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{g}\mathrm{h}\mathrm{p}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{t}\le \frac{\mathrm{M}\mathrm{S}\mathrm{S}}{\mathrm{R}\mathrm{T}\mathrm{T}\sqrt{P_{\mathrm{l}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{s}}}}}$

where MSS is the maximum segment size and P_loss is the probability of packet loss. If packet loss is so rare that the TCP window becomes regularly fully extended, this formula doesn't apply.

TCP options for high performance[edit]

A number of extensions have been made to TCP over the years to increase its performance over fast high-RTT links ('long fat networks' or LFNs).

TCP timestamps (RFC 1323) play a double role: they avoid ambiguities due to the 32-bit sequence number field wrapping around, and they allow more precise RTT estimation in the presence of multiple losses per RTT. With those improvements, it becomes reasonable to increase the TCP window beyond 64 kB, which can be done using the window scaling option (RFC 1323).

The TCP selective acknowledgment option (SACK, RFC 2018) allows a TCP receiver to precisely inform the TCP sender about which segments have been lost. This increases performance on high-RTT links, when multiple losses per window are possible.

Path MTU Discovery avoids the need for in-network fragmentation, increasing the performance in the presence of packet loss.
