38  * The TCPT_REXMT timer is used to force retransmissions.
39  * The TCP has the TCPT_REXMT timer set whenever segments
40  * have been sent for which ACKs are expected but not yet
41  * received.  If an ACK is received which advances tp->snd_una,
42  * then the retransmit timer is cleared (if there are no more
43  * outstanding segments) or reset to the base value (if there
44  * are more ACKs expected).  Whenever the retransmit timer goes off,
45  * we retransmit one unacknowledged segment, and do a backoff
46  * on the retransmit timer.
47  *
48  * The TCPT_PERSIST timer is used to keep window size information
49  * flowing even if the window goes shut.  If all previous transmissions
50  * have been acknowledged (so that there are no retransmissions in progress),
51  * and the window is too small to bother sending anything, then we start
52  * the TCPT_PERSIST timer.  When it expires, if the window is nonzero,
53  * we go to transmit state.  Otherwise, at intervals send a single byte
54  * into the peer's window to force it to update our window information.
55  * We do this at most as often as TCPT_PERSMIN time intervals,
56  * but no more frequently than the current estimate of round-trip
57  * packet time.  The TCPT_PERSIST timer is cleared whenever we receive
58  * a window update from the peer.
59  *
60  * The TCPT_KEEP timer is used to keep connections alive.  If a
61  * connection is idle (no segments received) for TCPTV_KEEP_INIT amount of time,
62  * but not yet established, then we drop the connection.  Once the connection
63  * is established, if the connection is idle for TCPTV_KEEP_IDLE time
64  * (and keepalives have been enabled on the socket), we begin to probe
65  * the connection.  We force the peer to send us a segment by sending:
66  *	<SEQ=SND.UNA-1><ACK=RCV.NXT><CTL=ACK>
67  * This segment is (deliberately) outside the window, and should elicit
68  * an ack segment in response from the peer.  If, despite the TCPT_KEEP
69  * initiated segments we cannot elicit a response from a peer in TCPT_MAXIDLE
70  * amount of time probing, then we drop the connection.
