Can one change the TCP maximum RTO to be smaller than specified in the specs?
We always min-clamp the RTO at RTO calculation time in order to be
compatible with BSD's coarse grained times.

But tuning TCP_RTO_MAX isn't permitted right? I'm drawing (perhaps flawed) parallels/distinctions between what is/isn't permitted to tweak for timers for one protocol versus another and wondering which may be a case of sauce for the goose/gander.
