Hello,

I am trying to probe webservers in the Internet for TCP Min RTO values.
Based on my preliminary tests I saw the following results, which I want to
validate.

Linux : around 200 ms
FreeBSD : around 1s
Sun Solaris : around 4s
Microsoft windows server : around 2s

Can anybody throw some light on the actual Min RTO values used by
different OSes? (listed above or otherwise)?

Thanks a lot,
Preethi
