reduces overall throughput, in such case you should disable it.
Default: 1
ping_group_range - 2 INTEGERS
Restrict ICMP_PROTO datagram sockets to users in the group range.
The default is "1 0", meaning, that nobody (not even root) may
create ping sockets. Setting it to "100 100" would grant permissions

tcp_early_demux - BOOLEAN
Enable early demux for established TCP sockets.
