$cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_low_latency 0 $ tcp_low_latency – BOOLEAN If set, the TCP stack makes decisions that prefer lower latency as opposed to higher throughput. By default, this option is not set meaning that higher throughput is preferred. An example of an application where this default should be changed would be a Beowulf compute cluster. Default: 0 …

What does rfc 1337 say ?

From RFC 1337. TIME-WAIT state removes the hazard of old duplicates for “fast” or “long” connections, in which clock-driven ISN selection is unable to prevent overlap of the old and new sequence spaces. The TIME-WAIT delay allows all old duplicate segments time enough to die in the Internet before the connection is reopened. echo 1 …
