Trace
The Trace feature allows you to perform an IP trace route to a remote computer either within or beyond the Internet
service provider’s network. Enter either the IP address or the hostname of the remote host computer into the input
box to the right of the Trace button. If you trace by name, DNS will be used to look up the appropriate IP address for
that name.
Trace
Success Trace will display its progress in the text box. Trace will show three round trip
times and the DNS name (if available) of each intermediate router.
Failure Trace will display “*” when it does not receive a response or cannot determine
the DNS name of an intermediate router. This is not necessarily an error, as
some routers are configured to ignore trace route packets or do not have DNS
name.
Turbo
Turbo
Turbo TCP is a sophisticated network traffic prioritization and queuing method that dramatically improves
the performance of downstream TCP/FTP/HTTP transfers under heavy upstream bandwidth utilization
conditions.
This feature first assigns a high priority to TCP signaling packets in the upstream direction, then places the
packet in one of several transmit queues based on this priority.
Packets of unspecified priority, like TCP or UDP data, are assigned a low priority and placed in a low priority
queue.
The packets in the high priority queues are then transmitted before packets in the lower priority queues
minimizing any transmit delays.
Minimizing the transmit delay of the TCP messages upstream enables the server to send the TCP data
downstream faster, resulting in a substantial throughput gain.
