===============================
add_addr_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
- Set the timeout after which an ADD_ADDR control message will be
- resent to an MPTCP peer that has not acknowledged a previous
- ADD_ADDR message.
+ Set the maximum value of timeout after which an ADD_ADDR control message
+ will be resent to an MPTCP peer that has not acknowledged a previous
+ ADD_ADDR message. A dynamically estimated retransmission timeout based
+ on the estimated connection round-trip-time is used if this value is
+ lower than the maximum one.
+
+ Do not retransmit if set to 0.
The default value matches TCP_RTO_MAX. This is a per-namespace
sysctl.
