/* RACK loss detection (IETF draft draft-ietf-tcpm-rack-01):
 *
 * Marks a packet lost, if some packet sent later has been (s)acked.
 * The underlying idea is similar to the traditional dupthresh and FACK
 * but they look at different metrics:
 *
 * dupthresh: 3 OOO packets delivered (packet count)
 * FACK: sequence delta to highest sacked sequence (sequence space)
 * RACK: sent time delta to the latest delivered packet (time domain)
 *
 * The advantage of RACK is it applies to both original and retransmitted
 * packet and therefore is robust against tail losses. Another advantage
 * is being more resilient to reordering by simply allowing some
 * "settling delay", instead of tweaking the dupthresh.
 *
 * When tcp_rack_detect_loss() detects some packets are lost and we
 * are not already in the CA_Recovery state, either tcp_rack_reo_timeout()
 * or tcp_time_to_recover()'s "Trick#1: the loss is proven" code path will
 * make us enter the CA_Recovery state.
