+tcp_thin_linear_timeouts - BOOLEAN
+ Enable dynamic triggering of linear timeouts for thin streams.
+ If set, a check is performed upon retransmission by timeout to
+ determine if the stream is thin (less than 4 packets in flight).
+ As long as the stream is found to be thin, up to 6 linear
+ timeouts may be performed before exponential backoff mode is
+ initiated. This improves retransmission latency for
+ non-aggressive thin streams, often found to be time-dependent.
