  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.
