Make a lot of sense. However, I got the impression from Rick that
having tcp_keepalive_intvl > tcp_keepalive_time behaved correctly in
older versions of the kernel.

I seek to make no assertions about the behaviour of older kernels.  I was
just going off the ip-sysctl.txt wording I was looking to clean-up.

Ok, should ip-sysctl.txt documentation be updated to warn not to set tcp_keepalive_intvl > tcp_keepalive_time?

Well, that or explain how it will not always be the time interval at 
which the probes are sent.
