_tstamp_always
Parameter
- Description
-
If set to 1, TCP always sends a SYN segment with the timestamp option. If set to 2, timestamps are completely disabled, regardless of whether the TCP connection was opened actively or passively. Note that if TCP receives a SYN segment with the timestamp option, TCP responds with a SYN segment with the timestamp option even if the parameter is set to 0.
