> Subject: [PATCH 1/1] tcp: Increase timeout for SYN segments
>
> Commit 9ad7c049 changed the initRTO from 3secs to 1sec in accordance to
> RFC6298 (former RFC2988bis). This reduced the time till the last SYN
> retransmission packet gets sent from 93secs to 31secs.
>
> RFC1122 is stating that the retransmission should be done for at least 3
> minutes, but this seems to be quite high.
>
> "However, the values of R1 and R2 may be different for SYN
> and data segments. In particular, R2 for a SYN segment MUST
> be set large enough to provide retransmission of the segment
> for at least 3 minutes. The application can close the
> connection (i.e., give up on the open attempt) sooner, of
> course."
>
> This patch increases the value of TCP_SYN_RETRIES to the value of 6,
> providing a retransmission window of 63secs.
>
> The comments for SYN and SYNACK retries have also been updated to
> describe the current settings.
