+tcp_fastopen - INTEGER
+	Enable TCP Fast Open feature (draft-ietf-tcpm-fastopen) to send data
+	in the opening SYN packet. To use this feature, the client application
+	must not use connect(). Instead, it should use sendmsg() or sendto()
+	with MSG_FASTOPEN flag which performs a TCP handshake automatically.

 	Number of times initial SYNs for an active TCP connection attempt
 	will be retransmitted. Should not be higher than 255. Default value
