I was looking for a sysctl in linux which is equal to /tcp_ip_abort_interval in HP
tcp_ip_abort_interval:
Second threshold timer for established connections.
When it must retransmit packets because a timer has expired,
Take a look at Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt. I belive the parameter you are looking maybe tcp_retries2.
