I was looking for a sysctl in linux which is equal to /tcp_ip_abort_interval in HP
Typically in HP we issue it as below
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_ip_abort_interval <value>
tcp_ip_abort_interval:
Second threshold timer for established
connections.
When it must retransmit packets because a timer
has expired,
TCP first compares the total time it has waited against two
thresholds, as described in RFC 1122, 4.2.3.5. If it has waited
longer than the second threshold, TCP aborts the connection.
For best results, do not set this parameter lower than
tcp_time_wait_interval.
In addition, you should not set this parameter to be less than four
minutes (240000 ms) so that the port number is not re-used
prematurely.
[500,-] Default: 600000 (10 minutes)
how do we do it in linux .I could not find anything relevant in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/* directory or in the man of tcp .
