Description
The Set-NetTCPSetting cmdlet modifies a TCP setting. TCP settings are optimized for different network conditions including latency and congestion. To apply a TCP setting to a port number or destination IP address range, create a transport filter by using the New-NetTransportFilter cmdlet.
Note:
- You can modify custom and non-custom settings on Windows server 2016 and 2019.
- You can modify only custom settings. Internet and Datacenter settings cannot be modified on Windows 2012 or earlier versions.
- On Windows 10, the following parameters are read-only and cannot be modified:
- MinRtoMs
- InitialCongestionWindowMss
- AutomaticUseCustom
- CongestionProvider
- CwndRestart
- DelayedAckTimeoutMs
Examples
Example 1: Change the custom TCP setting
PS C:\>Set-NetTCPSetting -SettingName "InternetCustom" -CongestionProvider CTCP -InitialCongestionWindowMss 6
This command changes the custom TCP setting to have a value of 6 for the initial congestion window and use compound TCP.
Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
Parameter properties
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-AutomaticUseCustom
Specifies whether the automatic profile assigns a custom template, either Datacenter Custom or Internet Custom, to a connection. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
- Enabled
- Disabled
Parameter properties
| Type: | AutomaticUseCustom |
| Default value: | None |
| Accepted values: | Disabled, Enabled |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-AutoReusePortRangeNumberOfPorts
Specifies the number of ports for the auto-reuse port range, which is a port range used for local ephemeral port selection by outbound TCP connections for which either SO_REUSE_UNICASTPORT has been set on the socket, or for which connect() has been called without calling bind() on the socket.
If you specify 0, the auto-reuse feature is disabled and ephemeral ports are drawn instead from the dynamic port range as specified by DynamicPortRangeStartPort and DynamicPortRangeNumberOfPorts, even if SO_REUSE_UNICASTPORT is set on a socket.
Parameter properties
| Type: | UInt16 |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-AutoReusePortRangeStartPort
Specifies the starting port for the auto-reuse port range.
This parameter sets the starting port to send and receive TCP traffic, which is a port range used for local ephemeral port selection by outbound TCP connections for which either SO_REUSE_UNICASTPORT has been set on the socket, or for which connect() has been called without calling bind() on the socket.
If you specify 0, the auto-reuse feature is disabled and ephemeral ports are drawn instead from the dynamic port range as specified by DynamicPortRangeStartPort and DynamicPortRangeNumberOfPorts, even if SO_REUSE_UNICASTPORT is set on a socket.
Parameter properties
| Type: | UInt16 |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-AutoTuningLevelLocal

Parameter sets
-CongestionProvider
Specifies the congestion provider property that TCP uses. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

| Default value: | None |
| Accepted values: | Default, CTCP, DCTCP |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-CwndRestart
Specifies whether to enable congestion window restart. Congestion window restart can avoid slow start to optimize throughput on low latency networks. For more information about congestion window restart, see RFC 2581. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
- True. TCP uses congestion window restart.
