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