/* The bandwidth estimator estimates the rate at which the network
* can currently deliver outbound data packets for this flow. At a high
* level, it operates by taking a delivery rate sample for each ACK.
*
* A rate sample records the rate at which the network delivered packets
* for this flow, calculated over the time interval between the transmission
* of a data packet and the acknowledgment of that packet.
*
* Specifically, over the interval between each transmit and corresponding ACK,
* the estimator generates a delivery rate sample. Typically it uses the rate
* at which packets were acknowledged. However, the approach of using only the
* acknowledgment rate faces a challenge under the prevalent ACK decimation or
* compression: packets can temporarily appear to be delivered much quicker
* than the bottleneck rate. Since it is physically impossible to do that in a
* sustained fashion, when the estimator notices that the ACK rate is faster
* than the transmit rate, it uses the latter:
*
* send_rate = #pkts_delivered/(last_snd_time - first_snd_time)
* ack_rate = #pkts_delivered/(last_ack_time - first_ack_time)
* bw = min(send_rate, ack_rate)
*
* Notice the estimator essentially estimates the goodput, not always the
* network bottleneck link rate when the sending or receiving is limited by
* other factors like applications or receiver window limits. The estimator
* deliberately avoids using the inter-packet spacing approach because that
* approach requires a large number of samples and sophisticated filtering.
*
* TCP flows can often be application-limited in request/response workloads.
* The estimator marks a bandwidth sample as application-limited if there
* was some moment during the sampled window of packets when there was no data
* ready to send in the write queue.
