It's not tunable at the app level. On linux it requires a kernel patch to change. I'm not sure about other OS's.

I wish there was a patch where you could enable it on linux via a ioctl/setsockopt. Would be very useful to those of us who aren't google.

Edit:

I wished, google already sent the patch in May for this:
