Hi there everyone,
I just grabbed the powertweak-0.1.15 sources and bumped into the following
in its documentation area (direct quote):
---
Network optimisation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You should configure Powertweak to tune your network settings based upon
what the system is mostly used for. (If both, choose the Internet
settings).
Disabling timestamping, window scaling and selective acknowledgement will
result in slightly better ethernet performance.
Internet:
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps=1
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling=1
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_sack=1
Intranet:
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps=0
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling=0
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_sack=0

I don't doubt this fellow, but would anyone be able to help me understand
why disabling these three is beneficial in a LAN but not on the Internet?
Also, I have a predicament, I have two Linux boxes. One is the Internet
gateway of my LAN so is therefore on both an intranet and the Internet.
Should I go with the defaults (all three enabled)? Or should I disable
them?
Thanks in advance! :)
