Enables F-RTO, an enhanced recovery algorithm for TCP retransmission

timeouts. It is particularly beneficial in wireless environments
|

rather than intermediate router congestion. If set to 1, basic

EXPERIMENTAL. The basic version can be used also when SACK is
|

enabled for a flow through tcp_sack sysctl.

tcp_frto_response - INTEGER
|
||||
When F-RTO has detected that a TCP retransmission timeout was
|
||||
spurious (i.e, the timeout would have been avoided had TCP set a
|
||||
longer retransmission timeout), TCP has several options what to do
|
||||
next. Possible values are:
|
||||
0 Rate halving based; a smooth and conservative response,
|
||||
results in halved cwnd and ssthresh after one RTT
|
||||
1 Very conservative response; not recommended because even
|
||||
though being valid, it interacts poorly with the rest of
|
||||
Linux TCP, halves cwnd and ssthresh immediately
|
||||
2 Aggressive response; undoes congestion control measures
|
||||
that are now known to be unnecessary (ignoring the
|
||||
possibility of a lost retransmission that would require
|
||||
TCP to be more cautious), cwnd and ssthresh are restored
|
||||
to the values prior timeout
|
||||
Default: 0 (rate halving based)
|
||||
|
||||
tcp_keepalive_time - INTEGER
|
||||
How often TCP sends out keepalive messages when keepalive is enabled.
|
||||
Default: 2hours.
