215165Swnj  * The TCPT_REXMT timer is used to force retransmissions.
225165Swnj  * The TCP has the TCPT_REXMT timer set whenever segments
235165Swnj  * have been sent for which ACKs are expected but not yet
245165Swnj  * received.  If an ACK is received which advances tp->snd_una,
255165Swnj  * then the retransmit timer is cleared (if there are no more
265165Swnj  * outstanding segments) or reset to the base value (if there
275165Swnj  * are more ACKs expected).  Whenever the retransmit timer goes off,
2824820Skarels  * we retransmit one unacknowledged segment, and do a backoff
2924820Skarels  * on the retransmit timer.
305165Swnj  *
315165Swnj  * The TCPT_PERSIST timer is used to keep window size information
327041Swnj  * flowing even if the window goes shut.  If all previous transmissions
337041Swnj  * have been acknowledged (so that there are no retransmissions in progress),
3424820Skarels  * and the window is too small to bother sending anything, then we start
3524820Skarels  * the TCPT_PERSIST timer.  When it expires, if the window is nonzero,
3624820Skarels  * we go to transmit state.  Otherwise, at intervals send a single byte
3724820Skarels  * into the peer's window to force him to update our window information.
3824820Skarels  * We do this at most as often as TCPT_PERSMIN time intervals,
3924820Skarels  * but no more frequently than the current estimate of round-trip
4024820Skarels  * packet time.  The TCPT_PERSIST timer is cleared whenever we receive
4124820Skarels  * a window update from the peer.
425165Swnj  *
435165Swnj  * The TCPT_KEEP timer is used to keep connections alive.  If an
445165Swnj  * connection is idle (no segments received) for TCPTV_KEEP amount of time,
455165Swnj  * but not yet established, then we drop the connection.  If the connection
465165Swnj  * is established, then we force the peer to send us a segment by sending:
475165Swnj  *	<SEQ=SND.UNA-1><ACK=RCV.NXT><CTL=ACK>
485165Swnj  * This segment is (deliberately) outside the window, and should elicit
495165Swnj  * an ack segment in response from the peer.  If, despite the TCPT_KEEP
505165Swnj  * initiated segments we cannot elicit a response from a peer in TCPT_MAXIDLE
515165Swnj  * amount of time, then we drop the connection.
