- * Unfortunately, v_beg_snd_una is not exactly equal to snd_una,
- * because delayed ACKs can cover more than one segment, so they
- * don't line up nicely with the boundaries of RTTs.
- *
- * Another unfortunate fact of life is that delayed ACKs delay the
- * advance of the left edge of our send window, so that the number
