-	How may times to retry before killing alive TCP connection.
-	RFC1122 says that the limit should be longer than 100 sec.
-	It is too small number.	Default value 15 corresponds to ~13-30min
-	depending on RTO.
+	This value influences the timeout of an alive TCP connection,
+	when RTO retransmissions remain unacknowledged.
+	Given a value of N, a hypothetical TCP connection following
+	exponential backoff with an initial RTO of TCP_RTO_MIN would
+	retransmit N times before killing the connection at the (N+1)th RTO.
+
+	The default value of 15 yields a hypothetical timeout of 924.6
+	seconds and is a lower bound for the effective timeout.
