/* 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.
