+        Enable dynamic triggering of retransmissions after one dupACK
+        for thin streams. If set, a check is performed upon reception
+        of a dupACK to determine if the stream is thin (less than 4
+        packets in flight). As long as the stream is found to be thin,
+        data is retransmitted on the first received dupACK. This
+        improves retransmission latency for non-aggressive thin
+        streams, often found to be time-dependent.
+        For more information on thin streams, see
