How do I make my TCP connection faster?

- Increase TCP initial congestion window to 10 (IW10).
- Reduce the initial timeout from 3 seconds to 1 second.
- Use TCP Fast Open (TFO).
- Use Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP (PRR).
Does TCP Optimizer really work?
Yes, the Optimizer does work and very well in 99% of all systems (which might be a better average than MS Windows itself 😉 ). It optimizes some networking related buffers for Internet connectivity, and allows for some educated custom tweaking of your Internet connection.

What affects TCP speed?
TCP is Impacted by Retransmission and Packet Loss Packet loss will have two effects on the speed of transmission of data: Packets will need to be retransmitted (even if only the acknowledgment packet got lost and the packets got delivered) The TCP congestion window size will not permit an optimal throughput.

Why is UDP faster than TCP?
UDP is faster than TCP, and the simple reason is because its non-existent acknowledge packet (ACK) that permits a continuous packet stream, instead of TCP that acknowledges a set of packets, calculated by using the TCP window size and round-trip time (RTT).
