>>A good practice is to enable tcp_tw_reuse (instead of tcp_tw_recycle), to make sure tcp_timestamp is enabled and to decrease the size of the tcp timestamp with tcp_timewait_len.

Couple questions. what is tcp_timestamp? i assumes you are not referring to tcp_timestamps? What effect does tcp_timewait_len have on timestamps at all? Isn't it just the amount of time the connection closer holds on to TCBs?
