How to Improve / Reduce Ping

Nagle’s Algorithm

Nagle's algorithm, named after John Nagle, is a means of improving the efficiency of TCP/IP networks by reducing the number of packets that need to be sent over the network. This is designed to improve throughput efficiency of data transmission. Disabling “nagling” can help reduce latency/ping in some games. Nagle’s algorithm is enabled in Windows by default.

To disable Nagling, modify this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{NIC-id}

{NIC-id} is the one that have your IP address in it.

If you have found it, create these DWORDs (32-bit):

1. TcpAckFrequency and set it to 1
2. TCPNoDelay and set it to 1
3. TcpDelAckTicks and set it to 0

( CASE SENSITIVE! )
