First, forgive me if this has already been answered, and point me to the link. I have spent 3-hours or so trying to find this. I can't believe I am the only one that has this question.
Where do I find a definition, and valid values for the fields on the Administration -> Sysctl page. (sysctl.asp)

Generally speaking if you want to know what each value is for, on a regular Linux distro you can open the /etc/sysctl.conf in any text editor and read the comments for each option.
If something is not on that file, just google the string Im sure you will have plenty hits.

This is not just DD-WRT, Red Hat RHEL 8 doesn't have it (last I checked) and probably many others.
Also definetly recommend a nvram reset after such sweeping changes to nvram values are done.
Without actually following the development of DD-WRT closely, for the general populous twice yearly nvram reset wouldn't be a farfetched bad piece of advice.
What we really need is a way to reconfigure the nvram quickly via command line based on settings / nvram strored variable that are hardly going to change, like static leases and other ACL's, security settings and MAC Filter lists etc.

Depends, if your specific usage and config you notice or not possible issues because of all the crud left behind. Most people dont notice anything until they try to do something else.
Just look trough reports on build threads, where ppl report no issues and indeed there are, I found severe bugs not long ago 3 builds back and on build reports threads everyone was happy, just may not be immediately obvious due to their config/usage or because in all honesty I doubt anything beyond works/dont work is actually tested.
Doesnt mean those issues were caused by nvram values alone, but there we are.
Which only applies to x86* builds, unless these patches/changes have been back-ported to 4.9.x and 4.4.x kernels in DD-WRT. Again, the item is still there on everything I have running DD-WRT, so the comment that it doesn't exist on a device running 4.4 seems amiss to me. Visual proof via screenshot works wonders, as is noted by you and your pseudo alter-ego in the UK. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

An image of the output of nvram show | grep tcp would've sufficed instead of an animated gif that I cannot really focus on enough to read clearly, thanks. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"
