Enable/Disable Path MTU (PMTU) Blackhole router detection in Windows
A few days ago, we saw how to Enable/Disable Path MTU Discovery (PMTU Discovery) from the registry. Now, we shall go further and see how to Enable or Disable Path MTU Blackhole router detection in Windows 2008/Vista/2003/XP/2000 from Windows Registry. Path MTU Blackhole router detection is enabled by default so as the Path MTU Discovery.

Enable/Disable Path MTU Discovery in Windows 2008/2003/Vista/XP/2000
Path maximum transmission unit (PMTU) discovery is the process of discovering the maximum size of packet that can be sent across the network between two hosts without fragmentation (that is, without the packet being broken into multiple frames during transmission). By discovering the path MTU (PMTU) and limiting TCP segments to this size, TCP can [...]
Disable Media Sensing on Ethernet adapters in Windows
The Media Sensing feature in Windows 2000, Windows XP and later is used to detect whether the network media are in a link state. With Media Sense feature, Windows senses a link state as UP or DOWN based on the link availability. When Windows detects a “down” state, it removes the bound protocols from that [...]
Change Default Time TO Live (TTL) in Windows Server 2008 & Windwos Vista
The Time To Live (TTL) value in an IPv4 packet determines the maximum number of links or hops on which an IPv4 packet is allowed to travel before being discarded. The default TTL value in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista is set to 128. While the defaults are good enough and may never need [...]
