Use GigE cards on the servers with a jumbo MTU and only buy IP network access from a service provider who supports jumbo MTUs end-to-end through their network. > How can I overcome the TCP stack limitations > inherent in Windows (registry tweaks seem to not functions too well)? Install a pair of Linux servers and use them to send/receive the data over the WAN. Also, do some googling for Internet Speed Record and read pages like this one: http://www.internet2.edu/lsr/history.html And read up on scaling MTI size with bandwidth here: http://www.psc.edu/~mathis/MTU/arguments.html --Michael Dillon
