21  * The TCPT_REXMT timer is used to force retransmissions.
22  * The TCP has the TCPT_REXMT timer set whenever segments
23  * have been sent for which ACKs are expected but not yet
24  * received.  If an ACK is received which advances tp->snd_una,
25  * then the retransmit timer is cleared (if there are no more
26  * outstanding segments) or reset to the base value (if there
27  * are more ACKs expected).  Whenever the retransmit timer goes off,
28  * we retransmit one unacknowledged segment, and do a backoff
29  * on the retransmit timer.
30  *
31  * The TCPT_PERSIST timer is used to keep window size information
32  * flowing even if the window goes shut.  If all previous transmissions
33  * have been acknowledged (so that there are no retransmissions in progress),
34  * and the window is too small to bother sending anything, then we start
35  * the TCPT_PERSIST timer.  When it expires, if the window is nonzero,
36  * we go to transmit state.  Otherwise, at intervals send a single byte
37  * into the peer's window to force him to update our window information.
38  * We do this at most as often as TCPT_PERSMIN time intervals,
39  * but no more frequently than the current estimate of round-trip
40  * packet time.  The TCPT_PERSIST timer is cleared whenever we receive
41  * a window update from the peer.
42  *
43  * The TCPT_KEEP timer is used to keep connections alive.  If an
44  * connection is idle (no segments received) for TCPTV_KEEP amount of time,
45  * but not yet established, then we drop the connection.  If the connection
46  * is established, then we force the peer to send us a segment by sending:
47  *	<SEQ=SND.UNA-1><ACK=RCV.NXT><CTL=ACK>
48  * This segment is (deliberately) outside the window, and should elicit
49  * an ack segment in response from the peer.  If, despite the TCPT_KEEP
50  * initiated segments we cannot elicit a response from a peer in TCPT_MAXIDLE
51  * amount of time, then we drop the connection.
