tcp: add sysctls for TCP PLB parameters
PLB (Protective Load Balancing) is a host based mechanism for load
balancing across switch links. It leverages congestion signals(e.g. ECN)
from transport layer to randomly change the path of the connection
experiencing congestion. PLB changes the path of the connection by
changing the outgoing IPv6 flow label for IPv6 connections (implemented
in Linux by calling sk_rethink_txhash()). Because of this implementation
mechanism, PLB can currently only work for IPv6 traffic. For more
information, see the SIGCOMM 2022 paper:
https://doi.org/10.1145/3544216.3544226
This commit adds new sysctl knobs and sets their default values for
TCP PLB.
