Matthew Dillon 701bec5a38 Introduce two new sysctl's:
net.inet.tcp.rexmit_min (default 3 ticks equiv)

    This sysctl is the retransmit timer RTO minimum,
    specified in milliseconds.  This value is
    designed for algorithmic stability only.

net.inet.tcp.rexmit_slop (default 200ms)

    This sysctl is the retransmit timer RTO slop
    which is added to every retransmit timeout and
    is designed to handle protocol stack overheads
    and delayed ack issues.

Note that the *original* code applied a 1-second
RTO minimum but never applied real slop to the RTO
calculation, so any RTO calculation over one second
would have no slop and thus not account for
protocol stack overheads (TCP timestamps are not
a measure of protocol turnaround!).  Essentially,
the original code made the RTO calculation almost
completely irrelevant.

Please note that the 200ms slop is debateable.
This commit is not meant to be a line in the sand,
and if the community winds up deciding that increasing
it is the correct solution then it's easy to do.
Note that larger values will destroy performance
on lossy networks while smaller values may result in
a greater number of unnecessary retransmits.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
