ipv4: Documenting two sysctls for tcp PMTU probe
Namely tcp_probe_interval to control how often to restart a probe. And tcp_probe_threshold to control when stop the probing in respect to the width of search range in bytes Signed-off-by: Fan Du <fan.du@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
