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

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.

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.
