The tool ist based on following articles:

Faster Ping optimizes network registry keys/values in order to turn off ACK delays and small packet delays. Windows intentionally delays small packets and waits until more data can be sent, which is a good idea for non-realtime applications. But in Multiplayer and MMO games the focus is on sending all packets (like move_left, cast_spell, ...) immediately to the server, even if the payload is only 1 byte in size.
Faster Ping turns off these network delays by setting the appropriate registry key/values which improves latency and ping times significantly.
