TCP ACK timeout and MTU size for high latency links (satellite)

["W. Martin Borgert" <debacle debian org>]

Hi,

I'm using network-manager (0.8.6 C API) with a satellite
connection. The connection is not slow, but suffers from
high latency. I get a lot of TCP errors, and wonder
whether I can increase the TCP ACK timeout and decrease
the MTU size via the C API.

Thanks in advance!
