Tuning TCP parameters for the 21st century

• wisesage5001 17y ago
  RTO stands for "Retransmissin Timeout" and is the length of time the sender waits for a packet to be ACK'd. (Source: http://www.opalsoft.net/qos/TCP-10.htm http://www.opalsoft.net/qos/TCP-10.htm)

    It seems obvious in hindsight, but ACK stands for "acknowledged."

  could the reduction of this parameter lead to DOS attacks on machines that are not tuned/monitored continuously?
