no tcptimestamp = tons of bandwidth savings

When tcp timestamp is on, does it send a timestamp with every tcp packet?

If so, how big is the timestamp?

The reason I ask, is that I turned off tcp timestamp at the first of the month. The forecast of bandwidth that I will have used for this month is around 300GB. Last month, when i had tcp timestamp on, i only used around 400GB.

100gb drop.. thats a lot.. im just wondering if it may have something to do with tcp timestamp?
