To Shorten System Restoration Time In Resetting Router.

(Reference)
In case that router connected to HDVC-MPCS is reset, it takes about 2030 minutes (depending on network
environment) to restore (conference available) after router start to be operated.
To shorten restoration time, it is necessary to reduce retrial frequency before detecting TCP session disconnected.
If you reduce retrial frequency, refer to the following procedure.

Change parts for .conf

.conf
In setting example, add the following setting to /etc/sysctl.conf as default.
(1) Set retrial frequency, before detecting TCP session disconnected, to net.ipv4.tcp retries2=8(default
15).
# How many times to retry killing an alive TCP connection
net.ipv4.tcp_retries2 = 8

Note
This setting should be executed by a person who understand Linux well.
In reference example, retrial frequency is set to 8. But, actual retrial depend on network environment. So, 8
retrial is not executed absolutely.
