Try http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#Tuning.
Increase net.inet.tcp.{send,recv}space.
It says
"You would normally use this to allow for routing or connection
problems. Of course, for it to be most effective, both sides of the
connection need to use similar values."
If you have an ISP that gives you IP aadrees ( using PPPOE ) it there
a way to measure or detect the valuse on the ISP's side?
The main problem being the support personnel mostly doesnot know these
things :-(
Thankyou so much
