Slow Bandwidth? Remove Unused Protocols to Improve Speed

I’m always looking for easy and effective ways to improve network performance. When I’m unhappy with network performance I try removing unused protocols to help lower traffic and increase network speed. To give this one a try, check the default network protocol settings used when installing operating systems and network drivers. They often include protocols such as IPv6, LLMNR and PGM, which are not commonly used in most networks. For example, if you have Microsoft Vista, you’re wasting traffic with the IPv6 protocol running, unless you’re actually using IPv6. If you remove it, you’ll open up your network and improve speed.

Have you found any other effective methods that you want to share? Ken wants to hear them via The Network Zone: Slow Bandwidth? Remove Unused Protocols to Improve Speed.
