tcp_frto - INTEGER
- Enables F-RTO, an enhanced recovery algorithm for TCP retransmission
+ Enables Forward RTO-Recovery (F-RTO) defined in RFC4138.
+ F-RTO is an enhanced recovery algorithm for TCP retransmission
timeouts. It is particularly beneficial in wireless environments
where packet loss is typically due to random radio interference

tcp_frto_response - INTEGER
When F-RTO has detected that a TCP retransmission timeout was
when the connection closes, so that connections established in the
near future can use these to set initial conditions. Usually, this
increases overall performance, but may sometimes cause performance
- degredation. If set, TCP will not cache metrics on closing

tcp_orphan_retries - INTEGER

Default: 0
+tcp_dma_copybreak - INTEGER
+ Lower limit, in bytes, of the size of socket reads that will be
+ offloaded to a DMA copy engine, if one is present in the system
+ and CONFIG_NET_DMA is enabled.
+ Default: 4096

- > 0: Accept routing header.
- = 0: Accept only routing header type 2.
+ >= 0: Accept only routing header type 2.
< 0: Do not accept routing header.
