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.
