They should be. Just check /proc/sys/net/ipv4 and verify that the
last bits of the things above exist as filenames, e.g.:
net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout = /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fin_timeout
If you want to just test them first without making them permanent, then
echo the value to the file, e.g.:
echo "1" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fin_timeout
Note that they'll revert back to their previous settings if you DON'T
put them in /etc/sysctl.conf.
BTW, they're explained in the kernel's
"Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt" file which is part of the
"kernel-doc" RPM. It's also found in the various kernel source RPMs.
