+tcp_no_metrics_save - BOOLEAN
+       By default, TCP saves various connection metrics in the route cache
+       when the connection closes, so that connections established in the
+       near future can use these to set initial conditions.  Usually, this
+       increases overall performance, but may sometimes cause performance
+       degredation.  If set, TCP will not cache metrics on closing
+       connections.
