Log Message:
Rewrite comments about TCP RTO calculations.
Long ago, the storage representations of srtt and rttvar were changed
from the 4.4BSD scheme, and the comments are out of sync with the
code. This commit rewrites most of the comments that explain the RTO
calculations, and points out some issues in the code.
Joint work with Bev Schwartz of BBN (original analysis and comments),
but I have rewritten and extended them, so errors are mine.
This material is based upon work supported by the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency and Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center,
