Number of times initial SYNs for an active TCP connection attempt
- will be retransmitted. Should not be higher than 255. Default value
+ will be retransmitted. Should not be higher than 127. Default value
is 6, which corresponds to 63seconds till the last retransmission
with the current initial RTO of 1second. With this the final timeout
for an active TCP connection attempt will happen after 127seconds.
