Your best bet will most likely be a Google search on the specific option you're not sure about. There was a very understandable definition of "embryonic" here: http://aa11.cjb.net/hpux_admin/1997/0243.html As for the RTT stuff, you're getting pretty deep into TCP optimization algorithms; there's a starting-point explanation here, starting on page 16: http://opensource.or.id/~dewa/References/Unix%20IPC/node8.html If you're still curious and not scared off by the deep TCP stuff, search the Web; a read through RFCs mentioned in the above article may also provide food for thought.
