Allows TCP to send "duplicate" SACKs.
tcp_early_retrans - INTEGER
- Enable Early Retransmit (ER), per RFC 5827. ER lowers the threshold
- for triggering fast retransmit when the amount of outstanding data is
- small and when no previously unsent data can be transmitted (such
- that limited transmit could be used). Also controls the use of
- Tail loss probe (TLP) that converts RTOs occurring due to tail
- losses into fast recovery (draft-dukkipati-tcpm-tcp-loss-probe-01).
+ Tail loss probe (TLP) converts RTOs occurring due to tail
+ losses into fast recovery (draft-ietf-tcpm-rack). Note that
+ TLP requires RACK to function properly (see tcp_recovery below)
Possible values:
- 0 disables ER
- 1 enables ER
- 2 enables ER but delays fast recovery and fast retransmit
- by a fourth of RTT. This mitigates connection falsely
- recovers when network has a small degree of reordering
- (less than 3 packets).
- 3 enables delayed ER and TLP.
- 4 enables TLP only.

- Enable dynamic triggering of retransmissions after one dupACK
