Hi, Dave. ] Is there anyone in a production environment who, as part of their system ] build process, adjusts the TCP receive window/MSS/etc. on production ] systems? Increasing it helps, particularly if both ends have the same setting. Don't forget to enable both RFC1323 and RFC2018 support if you go beyond the 64K mark. Take a look here for some (slightly dated *sigh*) suggestions along these lines. <http://www.cymru.com/Documents/ip-stack-tuning.html> As with anything, don't simply "crank it up to 11" because it can be done. Plan, tune, measure, repeat. :) Thanks, Rob. -- Rob Thomas http://www.cymru.com ASSERT(coffee != empty);
