Hmm...

I dont agree with the 'TCP' word here : listen() system call is not tied with TCP, isn't it ?
I would suggest :

+somaxconn - INTEGER
+ Limit of socket listen() backlog, known in userspace as SOMAXCONN.
+ Defaults to 128. See also tcp_max_syn_backlog for additional tuning for TCP sockets.

Thank you
