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

	 *     (v_beg_snd_nxt - v_vegas.beg_snd_una) / (rtt duration)

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