180 * At the end of the RTT, when we receive an ACK for v_beg_snd_nxt,

186 *
187 * Unfortunately, v_beg_snd_una is not exactly equal to snd_una,
188 * because delayed ACKs can cover more than one segment, so they
189 * don't line up nicely with the boundaries of RTTs.
190 *
191 * Another unfortunate fact of life is that delayed ACKs delay the
192 * advance of the left edge of our send window, so that the number
193 * of bytes we send in an RTT is often less than our cwnd will allow.
194 * So we keep track of our cwnd separately, in v_beg_snd_cwnd.
