cFosSpeed 6.11 build 1794 Beta

* cFosSpeed now features pack loss avoidance. Some Internet connections have

a very small packet buffer for incoming data. This buffer is quickly

overrun when too much data is received, leading to packet loss. The packet

loss is then detected by the sending TCP and the rate of transmission is

lowered. Nevertheless, this leads to higher ping times and packet loss

for all data received, even UDP data used for Gaming or VoIP. Tests show

that the packet loss rate can be as high as 5%.

Now cFosSpeed detects this packet loss in TCP streams and keeps the streams

from sending too much data. This avoids packet loss, leading to much lower

loss rates, fewer SACKs and sometimes much better throughput.

The feature is on by default, but can be switched off by setting

"spd gset avoid_loss 0 -save" or switching off "Packet loss avoidance" under
