Control Windows Treatment of Priority TCP/IP Data (Windows NT/2000/XP)

This parameter determines whether TCP uses the RFC 1122 specification for urgent data or the mode used by BSD- derived systems. The two mechanisms interpret the urgent pointer in the TCP header and the length of the urgent data differently.

This tweak can be easily applied using WinGuides Tweak Manager.
