Bufferbloat profile: Low-latency

TweakModerate riskReboot requiredReversible

Favors low latency under load by restricting receive-window auto-tuning (smaller buffers = less queueing delay) with ECN enabled and CUBIC. This can reduce maximum download speed on high-bandwidth links. NOTE: the real bufferbloat fix is SQM/fq_codel on your router; this only tunes the PC side. Revert resets TCP settings to Windows defaults. Reboot recommended.

How MaxTweaks applies this
