Title: Question for Skuzzy on IPMTU
Post by: Rolex on March 29, 2005, 05:57:32 PM

For years, I've always had to reduce MTU due to 'extra' packet overhead from providers - usually down to about 1450 or so. I also increase tcp Receive Window from default setting.

I have no game connection problems, but would either of these have any impact on vox? Just curious...

1450 is an odd number.  Should be 1500 or 1532, depending on your ISP's terminal server equipment.

The receive window can impact many things if you set it too large and your system cannot cope with the backlog.
