    Add sysctl to disable Nagle's algorithm (RFC 896 - Congestion Control)

  • I am under the impression that the intention of LINUX_TCP_CORK is that
    when you 'reset' (zeroize?) this particular socket option, the local
    data queue is flushed into a TCP packet on the wire. Whereas unsetting
    TCP_NOPUSH will not trigger a flush by itself. As I understand it NOPUSH
    and TCP_CORK have subtle differences.
    
    Kind regards,
