Verouderde Windows-instellingen (circa 2009 - Windows Vista/7/Server 2008)

Huidige Windows-instellingen (Windows 10/11/Server 2019-2025)

Moderne Windows maakt gebruik van deOntvang automatisch afstemmen van venstersfunctie, die ontvangstbuffers dynamisch aanpast op basis van netwerkomstandigheden.

Windows-configuratieopdrachten

# Check current auto-tuning level
netsh interface tcp show global

# Enable auto-tuning (normal mode - default for most scenarios)
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

# For high-bandwidth, high-latency networks (10GbE+, data center environments)
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=experimental

# For conservative tuning (if experimental causes issues)
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=restricted

# For very conservative tuning (not recommended for high-performance networks)
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=highlyrestricted

# Enable CUBIC congestion provider (Windows Server 2022/Windows 11+ only)
netsh interface tcp set supplemental template=Internet congestionprovider=cubic

# Note: Windows 10 and Server 2019 use Compound TCP or NewReno by default
# CUBIC is not available on these older versions

# Enable Receive-Side Scaling (RSS)
netsh interface tcp set global rss=enabled

# Set chimney offload (automatic is recommended)
netsh interface tcp set global chimney=automatic

# Disable NetDMA (recommended for modern systems)
netsh interface tcp set global netdma=disabled

# Enable Direct Cache Access (if supported)
netsh interface tcp set global dca=enabled

# Enable ECN (Explicit Congestion Notification)
netsh interface tcp set global ecncapability=enabled

# Set initial congestion window to 10 (RFC 6928)
netsh interface tcp set global initialRto=3000

Registeraanpassingen (geavanceerd - gebruik met voorzichtigheid)

# These settings are typically NOT needed on Windows 10/11 due to auto-tuning
# Only modify if auto-tuning is disabled or problematic

# Registry path: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

# Maximum TCP window size (if auto-tuning disabled)
# TcpWindowSize = 16777216 (16MB) - REG_DWORD

# Enable window scaling (enabled by default on modern Windows)
# Tcp1323Opts = 3 - REG_DWORD

# Number of TCP Timed Wait Delay
# TcpTimedWaitDelay = 30 - REG_DWORD (default 240)
