37  * The ERTT (Enhanced Round Trip Time) Khelp module calculates an estimate of
38  * the instantaneous TCP RTT which, for example, is used by delay-based
39  * congestion control schemes. When the module is loaded, ERTT data is
40  * calculated for each active TCP connection and encapsulated within a
41  * "struct ertt".
42  *
43  * This software was first released in 2010 by David Hayes and Lawrence Stewart
44  * whilst working on the NewTCP research project at Swinburne University of
45  * Technology's Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures, Melbourne,
46  * Australia, which was made possible in part by a grant from the Cisco
47  * University Research Program Fund at Community Foundation Silicon Valley.
48  * Testing and development was further assisted by a grant from the FreeBSD
49  * Foundation. More details are available at:
