Is it a good idea to enable the following tcp options when using ipw2200 driver?
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_frto
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_low_latency
man tcp(7)
tcp_frto (Boolean; default: disabled)
Enables F-RTO, an enhanced recovery algorithm for TCP retrans-
mission timeouts. It is particularly beneficial in wireless
environments where packet loss is typically due to random radio
interference rather than intermediate router congestion.
tcp_low_latency (Boolean; default: disabled)
If enabled, the TCP stack makes decisions that prefer lower
latency as opposed to higher throughput. It this option is dis-
abled, then higher throughput is preferred. An example of an
application where this default should be changed would be a
Beowulf compute cluster.
