Message-Id: <200709042020.NAA29612@tardy.cup.hp.com>
Date:	Tue, 4 Sep 2007 13:20:47 -0700 (PDT)
From:	Rick Jones <rick.jones2@...com>
To:	netdev@...r.kernel.org
Subject: [PATCH] [RFC] allow admin/users to specify rto_min in milliseconds rather than jiffies

Build upon David Miller's initial patches to set the per-route rto_min
so users can specify the rto_min in the same units (milliseconds) in
which they are displayed.  This is desirable because asking users to
convert to and from jiffies themselves, when there can be different
values of HZ from system to system would be error prone.
