There are many timeouts associated with TCP - the above description is
insufficiently specific to identify which one is being referred to.
See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt for some
information about the timeouts included in the normalLinux TCP/IP stack, and
see /usr/src/linux/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_proto_tcp.c for similar
values used in the netfilter connection tracking system.
Once you've found out which of these values your documentation is referring
to, you can change it to whatever you like, either by writing to a file in
/proc/sys/net/ipv4, or by recompiling netfilter conntracking, depending on
which value it is you want to adjust.
