Like most operating systems, MacOS X doesn't come out of the box to take full advantage of a high-speed, broadband internet connection. Luckily, because of its Unix base, there's an easy fix for that. By making certain tweaks to your network settings, you may be able to almost double your download speeds.

Enhancements:

Requirements: Mac OS X 10.4 or later, home network, HNAP-enabled router.

Requirements:
Linksys EtherFast Router.

WhatRoute is designed to find the names of all the routers an IP packetpasses through on its way from your Macintosh to a destination host.

Italso measures the round-trip time from your Mac to the router, thusenabling you to determine slow links--or hops--in the Internet.

WhatRoute can also find dead links, such as routers that dont respond.This program is optimized for use with Open Transport.

The Routing Server allows multiple PCs behind a router to make direct connections.
It allows you to accept BitWise connections to multiple computers behind a router. Typically, using a router, you would set up port forwarding on BitWises client port (4137), and specify a single destination IP. This is fine until multiple users behind a router all need to accept incoming connections.
As shown by the picture at right, the Routing Server allows individual users to register themselves with the Routing Server, and then the Routing Server accepts all incoming connections and directs those connections to the appropriate user.
The Routing Server requires that your physical router support port forwarding with a way to specify different external and internal ports (this is sometimes labeled "UPnP" by many common home routers).
