+tcp_fack - BOOLEAN
+	Enable FACK congestion avoidance and fast restransmission.

+tcp_dsack - BOOLEAN
+	Allows TCP to send "duplicate" SACKs.

+tcp_reordering - INTEGER
+	Maximal reordering of packets in a TCP stream.

 tcp_retrans_collapse - BOOLEAN
 	Bug-to-bug compatibility with some broken printers.
 	On retransmit try to send bigger packets to work around bugs in
 	certain TCP stacks.
 
+tcp_wmem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, default, max
+	min: Amount of memory reserved for send buffers for TCP socket.
+	Each TCP socket has rights to use it due to fact of its birth.
+	Default: 4K
+
+	default: Amount of memory allowed for send buffers for TCP socket
+	by default. This value overrides net.core.wmem_default used
+	by other protocols, it is usually lower than net.core.wmem_default.
+	Default: 16K
+
+	max: Maximal amount of memory allowed for automatically selected
+	send buffers for TCP socket. This value does not override

+	min: Minimal size of receive buffer used by TCP sockets.
+	It is guaranteed to each TCP socket, even under moderate memory

+	Default: 8K
+
+	default: default size of receive buffer used by TCP sockets.
+	This value overrides net.core.rmem_default used by other protocols.
+	Default: 87380 bytes. This value results in window of 65535 with
+	default setting of tcp_adv_win_scale and tcp_app_win:0 and a bit

+tcp_mem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, pressure, max
+	low: below this number of pages TCP is not bothered about its
+	memory appetite.
+
+	pressure: when amount of memory allocated by TCP exceeds this number
+	of pages, TCP moderates its memory consumption and enters memory
+	pressure mode, which is exited when memory consumtion falls

+
+	high: number of pages allowed for queueing by all TCP sockets.
+
+	Defaults are calculated at boot time from amount of available
