PPoE MTU and LAN MTU changes resulting in unbelievable increases in performance

05 January, 2008 02:08

I was looking over my PPoE stats and noticed an MTU of 1540.  Most of my internet uses relies on UDP communication, so I decided to play around a bit.

I lowered the response time negotiation in relation to lowering my routers MTU to 1300.  Ya, try doing that with your average ISP and see how long it takes for your net to go down.

My local network has improved in performance 2 fold, and WAN data transfer has increased by at least 3!

However, this is the first time I had rebooted my router since my ISP hook-up, about 4 months.  Who knows.  Sure as hell happy though!
