faster, which, in turn, lets you find games quicker. By default, the Fast Search
check box is selected. However, with Fast Search enabled, occasionally a
connection might be allowed for a device with a ping value that is higher than

Tests
Before you enable congestion control, we recommend that you run at least one
connection benchmark test to determine your Internet upload and download speed
for traffic and pings.
You can then use the test results to configure congestion control (see Prevent Network
Congestion With Congestion Control on page 61).
