I installed maxmtu and have seen a significant improvement in my web page display. I did a before and after throughput test as described at the maxmtu web site. I also have run n2 on kali and it played smoother with some blinking of the other car (very playable). I saw no major warping. My connection to the other player had a latency of about .33. However, i can't say that MaxMtu directly made any difference or we just had a good connection. Without detail testing and tools to measure performance, it's all gut feel. What is hard to tell is

says... I tried this setting and it has made little or no difference. I do know from fact however, that this process DOES work on a Network which has congestion problems. The reason it didn't work for me is our Internet department here at work just switched our MTU to 1500. We have upgraded all of our 800 USR modems to 56K x2 and USR told us to move the MTU to 1500. I am still interested to see what a MTU of 576 does for the rest of my internet access. (such as Kali) I will experiment with this as I can. If anyone else has their ISP running at 1500, let me know. I would be interested in your findings. -- Lannie Schafroth Pathworks Network Administrator Iowa Network Services, Inc.
