Speed Up your Ping Test

If you are a gamer you need a fast and reliable Internet Connection and for me I have an Acceptable ping test result. The result is based on pingtest.net it is an Acceptable result but will likely suffer some difficulty playing online game. I was browsing one of my favorite forum and a user suggested to try some tweak to speed up your Ping Test result.  Here’s how 
 Start > Run > regedit 

 Then look for :



 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces \
A list of NIC interfaces will be listed make sure to select the right one. You need to find the one you are using to connect to the Internet.  Right-click in the right hand pane and add a new DWORD value, name it TcpAckFrequency, then right click the entry and click Modify and assign a value of 1.
 You can change it back to 2 (default) at a later stage if it affects your other TCP application performance. it tells windows how many TCP packets to wait before sending ACK. if the value is 1, windows will send ACK every time it receives a TCP package.
 The second step is  TCPNoDelay
 Start > Run > regedit > 
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\Parameters
 Right-click in the right hand pane and add a new DWORD value, name it TCPNoDelay, then right click the entry and click Modify and assign a value of 1. Click OK and close the registry editor, then reboot your PC. 
** Beware before making some modification on the registry. Back up your file save the current registry for back up or create a restore point.
