RxRPC is a two-layer protocol. There is a session layer which provides
reliable virtual connections using UDP over IPv4 (or IPv6) as the transport
layer, but implements a real network protocol; and there's the presentation
layer which renders structured data to binary blobs and back again using XDR
(as does SunRPC):

reception window is full (to a maximum of 255 packets), so delaying the
ACK permits several packets to be ACK'd in one go.
(*) soft_ack_delay
(#) soft_ack_delay
The amount of time in milliseconds after receiving a new packet before we
generate a soft-ACK to tell the sender that it doesn't need to resend.
(*) idle_ack_delay
(#) idle_ack_delay
The amount of time in milliseconds after all the packets currently in the
received queue have been consumed before we generate a hard-ACK to tell
the sender it can free its buffers, assuming no other reason occurs that
we would send an ACK.
(*) resend_timeout
(#) resend_timeout
The amount of time in milliseconds after transmitting a packet before we
transmit it again, assuming no ACK is received from the receiver telling
us they got it.
(*) max_call_lifetime
(#) max_call_lifetime
The maximum amount of time in seconds that a call may be in progress
before we preemptively kill it.
(*) dead_call_expiry
(#) dead_call_expiry
The amount of time in seconds before we remove a dead call from the call
list. Dead calls are kept around for a little while for the purpose of
repeating ACK and ABORT packets.
(*) connection_expiry
(#) connection_expiry
The amount of time in seconds after a connection was last used before we
remove it from the connection list. While a connection is in existence,
it serves as a placeholder for negotiated security; when it is deleted,
the security must be renegotiated.
(*) transport_expiry
(#) transport_expiry
The amount of time in seconds after a transport was last used before we
remove it from the transport list. While a transport is in existence, it
serves to anchor the peer data and keeps the connection ID counter.
(*) rxrpc_rx_window_size
(#) rxrpc_rx_window_size
The size of the receive window in packets. This is the maximum number of
unconsumed received packets we're willing to hold in memory for any
particular call.
(*) rxrpc_rx_mtu
(#) rxrpc_rx_mtu
The maximum packet MTU size that we're willing to receive in bytes. This
indicates to the peer whether we're willing to accept jumbo packets.
(*) rxrpc_rx_jumbo_max
(#) rxrpc_rx_jumbo_max
The maximum number of packets that we're willing to accept in a jumbo
packet. Non-terminal packets in a jumbo packet must contain a four byte
