By default it's enabled with a non-zero value. 0 disables F-RTO.
+tcp_invalid_ratelimit - INTEGER
+ Limit the maximal rate for sending duplicate acknowledgments
+ in response to incoming TCP packets that are for an existing
+ connection but that are invalid due to any of these reasons:
+
+ (a) out-of-window sequence number,
+ (b) out-of-window acknowledgment number, or
+ (c) PAWS (Protection Against Wrapped Sequence numbers) check failure
+
+ This can help mitigate simple "ack loop" DoS attacks, wherein
+ a buggy or malicious middlebox or man-in-the-middle can
+ rewrite TCP header fields in manner that causes each endpoint
+ to think that the other is sending invalid TCP segments, thus
+ causing each side to send an unterminating stream of duplicate
+ acknowledgments for invalid segments.
+
+ Using 0 disables rate-limiting of dupacks in response to
+ invalid segments; otherwise this value specifies the minimal
+ space between sending such dupacks, in milliseconds.
+
+ Default: 500 (milliseconds).
+
tcp_keepalive_time - INTEGER
How often TCP sends out keepalive messages when keepalive is enabled.
Default: 2hours.
