TTLs (time to life), frame sizes, packet fragmentation, packet resends,
routing, firewall configs (yes!), proxys (cache problems?), etc...
Hey - you missed packet schedulers (Packeteer, etc.), VPN frame
overhead, ATM cell tax, VJHC, RED, etc.:-)
Knowledge of IP protocols can be a nightmare. But usually these are not set
wrong on your computer unless you tried to optimized them yourself without
real knowledge of consequences...
One of the few exceptions to that is the setting of receive buffer
(window) size, which is often set too small to achieve the potential
throughput for broadband connections.
If it works, for anything else, dont try to fix it... Look elsewhere. So far
rev does a good job with almost anything network related as far as I've
experienced.
