Subject: [LARTC] Clamping tcp mss values to decrease latency
Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2002 05:13:53 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-lartc-101461408005658@msgid-missing> (raw)

Hello,

I have an interesting question. I can't find a solution anywhere to this
problem.

I have an adsl connection which is able to send a full data packet in
about 150ms. I want to cut this time down to decrease latency while
serving files, so I thought I'd try and reduce the packet size for the
offending upload streams (my webserver). The trick is that I also want all
other tcp connections to have the normal full packet size. Enter
MSS-clamping. My pppoe client for linux can do mss clamping on every
packet that goes out and come in. Not enough control. There is an option
to do mss-clamping in iptables, however this only works in the forward
table. I can't match and control outgoing web connections, just
connections getting routed through the machine. Any ideas?
