DFUeTweaker

DFUeTweaker is an optimization tool designed to speed up the Internet connection by tweaking certain network-related parameters.

From the main application window users can choose to adjust the settings for the maximum transmission unit (MTU) and enable a value more suitable for the type of connection they’re running on. In this case there is also the possibility to type in a custom value.

Additional configuration is available for the TTL (time-to-live) as well as for the RWIN (TCP Receive Window). User can opt for optimizing the Internet Explorer by establishing a maximum number of connections per server.

The application provides specific explanations for the parameters in the documentation file that comes with it. These are necessary because users have different connections and because of this the values are adjusted differently.

DFUeTweaker integrates a tool that allows finding the largest non-fragmented package the PC can send. This is necessary to find out because should the size be on the smaller side data needs to be re-assembled at the other end, hence higher wait times that contribute to a poorer connection.

Also present is a ping tool that can be tweaked in terms of the timeout value and the size of the packets sent. Additional benefits provided by DFUeTweaker refer to details about the adapter.
