The TCP window size is adjusted dynamically during the transmission for line quality and speed. Changing its parameters will only affect initial data transfer. > Does it increase the speed only? It does neither increase nor decrease speed, it just changes the way how TCP handshake is handled. > and how does increate the TCP window size on freebsd? You don't. Changing the TCP window size will happen automatically. HTH -Christoph Sold P.S: To learn more about TCP/IP, read the bible: W.
