New Revision: 217806
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/217806

Log:
  Import the ERTT (Enhanced Round Trip Time) Khelp module. ERTT uses the
  Khelp/Hhook KPIs to hook into the TCP stack and maintain a per-connection, low
  noise estimate of the instantaneous RTT. ERTT's implementation is robust even in
  the face of delayed acknowledgements and/or TSO being in use for a connection.
  
  A high quality, low noise RTT estimate is a requirement for applications such as
  delay-based congestion control, for which we will be importing some algorithm
  implementations shortly.

+ * The ERTT (Enhanced Round Trip Time) Khelp module calculates an estimate of
+ * the instantaneous TCP RTT which, for example, is used by delay-based
+ * congestion control schemes. When the module is loaded, ERTT data is
+ * calculated for each active TCP connection and encapsulated within a
+ * "struct ertt".
+ *
+ * This software was first released in 2010 by David Hayes and Lawrence Stewart
+ * whilst working on the NewTCP research project at Swinburne University's
+ * Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures, Melbourne, Australia, which was
+ * made possible in part by a grant from the Cisco University Research Program
+ * Fund at Community Foundation Silicon Valley. Testing and development was
+ * further assisted by a grant from the FreeBSD Foundation. More details are
+ * available at:
