Most people are changing the MTU to speed up web browsing which is data intensive, not interactive. I think Karl's explanation of broken Windows TCP/IP stacks is more likely the root cause of the problem. But has anyone ever done a proper test of this with sniffers at both the client end of the network and the webserver end of the network?
Yes, and like Karl said things work better with the smaller MTU (like it or not). Adjusting other TCP parameters is also a good idea on your servers (although things are better now, *nix boxes of a few years ago just weren't tuned to be used with 14.4 and 28.8 modems). bye, ken emery
