+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.
