r to compute pipeACK the approach suggested by the Internet Draft (ID) is f=
ollowed [ncwv]. During initialization, pipeACK is set to the maximum possib=
le value. A helper variable prevHighACK is introduced that is initialized t=
o the initial sequence number (iss). prevHighACK holds the value of the hig=
hest acknowledged byte so far. pipeACK is measured once per RTT meaning tha=
t when an ACK covering prevHighACK is received, pipeACK becomes the differe=
nce between the current ACK and prevHighACK. This is called a pipeACK sampl=
e.  A newer version of the draft suggests that multiple pipeACK samples can=
 be used during the pipeACK sampling period."
