- My ISP (who has about 20 tech support reps who know very little) tells everyone they should
- use the following trumpet settings:
-
- MTU 576
- RWIN 2048
- TCPMSS 512
-
- None of the support reps there knew why the tcpmss is not 40 less than the MTU,
- in their recommended setup. But everything i've read elsewhere says it should
- be 40 less (I assume it meant exactly 40 less).
- Anyone have any idea if those setting are valid?
