This sounds great! I was questioning myself if the grace period for
tcp_tw_recycle isn't over.

Sorry, if this is a dump question, but does this make the ts_off unique per
connection or only per quadruple (saddr, sport, daddr, dport), i.e. the same
remote port gets the same ts_off. The documentation says ‘per connection’
and it might be helpful to say it gets the same ts_off if the addresses and
ports are the same.
Kind regards, Jörg
