This patch can solve your problems if you have network connection dropping too much -packets. In standard case the Linux kernel will correctly increase our round-trip-time -of connection slowing the transfer rate up to the unusable state.

-

After applying this patch you can set your maximal round-trip-time in file -"/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rto_max", it is expressed in Hz -units (100-per-second on x86 platform). You may need also to enlarge -your maximal retry count in "/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_retries2", -otherwise your machine will reject the connection as it will have to retry -the packets more than in sane states.

-

Please use this feature very carefully! You are violating -RFC standards and you can get your network administrators to be very angry!

+

Solve your problems with network connection dropping too much of your +packets. It forces Linux kernel to insist repeating the packages to prevent +slowdown of the TCP connection up to its unusable state.
