tcp_congestion_control - STRING
Set the congestion control algorithm to be used for new
timeouts. It is particularly beneficial in wireless environments
where packet loss is typically due to random radio interference
rather than intermediate router congestion. F-RTO is sender-side
- only modification. Therefore it does not require any support from
- the peer, but in a typical case, however, where wireless link is
- the local access link and most of the data flows downlink, the
- faraway servers should have F-RTO enabled to take advantage of it.

If set to 1, basic version is enabled. 2 enables SACK enhanced

Most hosts use the older BSD interpretation, so if you turn this on
