I'm assuming you're talking about Linux, I don't know of any other OS with
that path.
If so, then those parameters are documented in the kernel source directory,
often visible as /usr/src/linux/. Look in Documentation/networking/. As the
file 00-INDEX indicates, those are documented in ip-sysctl.txt. A few other
files in that dir have mentions of specific uses of specific variables as they
relate to specific issues, but the comprehensive list is in ip-sysctl.txt.
Some distributions may install the kernel documentation elsewhere. E.g. at
least in Red Hat 7.2 (which is what I have convenient to hand), if you have
the kernel-doc package installed, that file is also visible as
/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.4.7/networking/ip-sysctl.txt.
If you have that file online, and you don't know where it is, the command
locate ip-sysctl.txt
may help.
