     50  * The TCPT_REXMT timer is used to force retransmissions.
     51  * The TCP has the TCPT_REXMT timer set whenever segments
     52  * have been sent for which ACKs are expected but not yet
     53  * received.  If an ACK is received which advances tp->snd_una,
     54  * then the retransmit timer is cleared (if there are no more
     55  * outstanding segments) or reset to the base value (if there
     56  * are more ACKs expected).  Whenever the retransmit timer goes off,
     57  * we retransmit one unacknowledged segment, and do a backoff
     58  * on the retransmit timer.
     59  *
     60  * The TCPT_PERSIST timer is used to keep window size information
     61  * flowing even if the window goes shut.  If all previous transmissions
     62  * have been acknowledged (so that there are no retransmissions in progress),
     63  * and the window is too small to bother sending anything, then we start
     64  * the TCPT_PERSIST timer.  When it expires, if the window is nonzero,
     65  * we go to transmit state.  Otherwise, at intervals send a single byte
     66  * into the peer's window to force him to update our window information.
     67  * We do this at most as often as TCPT_PERSMIN time intervals,
     68  * but no more frequently than the current estimate of round-trip
     69  * packet time.  The TCPT_PERSIST timer is cleared whenever we receive
     70  * a window update from the peer.
     71  *
     72  * The TCPT_KEEP timer is used to keep connections alive.  If an
     73  * connection is idle (no segments received) for TCPTV_KEEP_INIT amount of time,
     74  * but not yet established, then we drop the connection.  Once the connection
     75  * is established, if the connection is idle for TCPTV_KEEP_IDLE time
     76  * (and keepalives have been enabled on the socket), we begin to probe
     77  * the connection.  We force the peer to send us a segment by sending:
     78  *	<SEQ=SND.UNA-1><ACK=RCV.NXT><CTL=ACK>
     79  * This segment is (deliberately) outside the window, and should elicit
     80  * an ack segment in response from the peer.  If, despite the TCPT_KEEP
     81  * initiated segments we cannot elicit a response from a peer in TCPT_MAXIDLE
     82  * amount of time probing, then we drop the connection.
