4 * Estimate RPC request round trip time.
6 * Based on packet round-trip and variance estimator algorithms described
7 * in appendix A of "Congestion Avoidance and Control" by Van Jacobson
8 * and Michael J. Karels (ACM Computer Communication Review; Proceedings
9 * of the Sigcomm '88 Symposium in Stanford, CA, August, 1988).
11 * This RTT estimator is used only for RPC over datagram protocols.

82 * Estimate rto for an nfs rpc sent via. an unreliable datagram.
83 * Use the mean and mean deviation of rtt for the appropriate type of rpc
84 * for the frequent rpcs and a default for the others.
85 * The justification for doing "other" this way is that these rpcs
86 * happen so infrequently that timer est. would probably be stale.
87 * Also, since many of these rpcs are
88 * non-idempotent, a conservative timeout is desired.
