You don't want to drop it more than necessary, because otherwise minor
problems will start causing connection establishment to fail.  If
you're having a real problem with packet-spoofing attacks, then I'd
recommend keeping an eye on how low the kernel drops the rtexpire
value, and reduce the default value to just a bit more than that.  If
you're not having problems with such attacks, then there's no real
benefit to making these changes in the first place.
