Compound TCP
For TCP connections with a large receive window size and a large bandwidth-delay product, Compound TCP (CTCP) in the Next Generation TCP/IP stack aggressively increases the amount of data sent at a time by monitoring the bandwidth-delay product, delay variations, and packet losses. CTCP also ensures that its behavior does not negatively impact other TCP connections. In testing performed internally at Microsoft, large file backup times were reduced by almost half for a 1 Gigabit per second connection with a 50 millisecond round-trip time. Connections with a larger bandwidth-delay product can have even better performance.

Receive Window Auto Tuning optimizes receiver-side throughput and CTCP optimizes sender-side throughput. By working together, they can increase link utilization and produce substantial performance gains for large bandwidth-delay product connections.

CTCP is enabled by default for computers running Windows Server 2008 and disabled by default for computers running Windows Vista. You can enable CTCP with the netsh interface tcp set global congestionprovider=ctcp command and disable CTCP with the netsh interface tcp set global congestionprovider=none command.

ECN Support
When a TCP segment is lost, TCP assumes that the segment was lost due to congestion at a router and performs congestion control, which dramatically lowers the TCP sender’s transmission rate. With Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) support (RFC 3168) on both TCP peers and the routers in the routing infrastructure, routers experiencing congestion mark the packets as they forward them. TCP peers receiving marked packets lower their transmission rate to ease congestion and prevent segment losses. Detecting congestion before packet losses are incurred increases the overall throughput between TCP peers. Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista support ECN, but it is disabled by default. You can enable ECN support with the netsh interface tcp set global ecncapability=enabled command.

Before...
mstsc /console = "connect to console:i:1" in .RDP file

After...
mstsc /admin = "administrative session:i:1" in .RPP file

This option is meant for dealing with unexpected failures on connections using Network Level Authentication.

We strongly recommend users avoid using this flag unless none of other fixes described in this post work and no other alternative is available. If this setting is used try to limit its scope as much as possible by using it only those RDP files meant for connections to specific servers (i.e. avoid setting it in your Default.rdp file).

Deploying this configuration option widely will cause hard to diagnose issues when connecting to Vista and Longhorn Server computers that require Network Level Authentication.

"Virtual PC 2007 was released in final form for download today. You can read more about Virtual PC 2007, and download it, from the newly updated Virtual PC website: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/default.mspx.

Some key features of Virtual PC 2007 include:

- Support for x64 Windows as a host operating system
- Support for hardware virtualization support
- Support for Windows Vista as a guest and host operating system
- Support for PXE network booting of virtual machines
- Support for the use of fullscreen virtual machines on multi-monitor systems (VM still stays on just one monitor though)"
