andre e83c574f87 Have TCP Inflight disable itself if the RTT is below a certain
threshold.  Inflight doesn't make sense on a LAN as it has
trouble figuring out the maximal bandwidth because of the coarse
tick granularity.

The sysctl net.inet.tcp.inflight.rttthresh specifies the threshold
in milliseconds below which inflight will disengage.  It defaults
to 10ms.

/*
* 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.

* Minimum retransmit timer is 3 ticks, for algorithmic stability.
* TCPT_RANGESET() will add another TCPTV_CPU_VAR to deal with
* the expected worst-case processing variances by the kernels
* representing the end points. Such variances do not always show
* up in the srtt because the timestamp is often calculated at
* the interface rather then at the TCP layer. This value is
* typically 50ms. However, it is also possible that delayed
* acks (typically 100ms) could create issues so we set the slop
* to 200ms to try to cover it. Note that, properly speaking,
* delayed-acks should not create a major issue for interactive
* environments which 'P'ush the last segment, at least as
* long as implementations do the required 'at least one ack
* for every two packets' for the non-interactive streaming case.
* (maybe the RTO calculation should use 2*RTT instead of RTT
* to handle the ack-every-other-packet case).
*
* The prior minimum of 1*hz (1 second) badly breaks throughput on any
* networks faster then a modem that has minor (e.g. 1%) packet loss.
