Network BufferBloat Thread

Everything about latency. This section is mainly user/consumer discussion. (Peer-reviewed scientific discussion should go in Laboratory section). Tips, mouse lag, display lag, game engine lag, network lag, whole input lag chain, VSYNC OFF vs VSYNC ON, and more! Input Lag Articles on Blur Busters.

Network BufferBloat Thread

Post by Slender » 01 May 2023, 14:42

in this thread you can discuss about any network settings, and how you can reduce the latency on this test:

what am i doing?
the first thing I did was tidy up my MTU size (1500 by def), for me it's 1480 for some reason.
then I enter this command:
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
(powershell)
This two options you can set in TCPoptimizer
After that my latency is reduced.
idk, maybe that work not like that, but it working.

Games do not use tcp packets. These settings are useless, as is this site.

Based on the screenshots, it looks like you traded a bit of throughput for lower buffer lag. For gaming, I'd say that's an improvement. The bufferbloat generally shows up when the throughput is saturated, as packets start queuing up instead of being transferred "right now".

I agree with optimizing MTU, I have had several fiber connections where 1500 was too high. Many connections are in the 1440-1480 range.

I found mine to be not fragmenting at 1462 + 28 = 1490 MTU size.

But thank you for the autotuninglevel, this worked wonders!

(Combined effort with network driver tweaks+MTU+autotuninglevel)

Turning off autotuninglevel made my upload 0 ms, any way to get my upload down? I also changed to optimal MTU size for my connection.
