That's the way it works.  Proc is memory based; if you want something to
stick between reboots, you either write it in on every boot, or use sysctl:

[root{at}melbourne root]# sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 1

[root{at}melbourne root]# sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps=1
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 1

or put it in /etc/sysctl.conf.
