The TimeOut directive currently defines the amount of time Apache will wait for 
three things:
        1. The total amount of time it takes to receive a GET request.
        2. The amount of time between receipt of TCP packets on a POST or PUT 
request.
        3. The amount of time between ACKs on transmissions of TCP packets in 
responses.
Can someone explain the 2nd point, I do not understand it fully?

it apparently means that the incoming TCP packets for POST or PUT requests must come in lowert intervals, to prevent very slow clients from eating all connections to apache.

Apparently aginst slowloris attack.
