 loss recovery algorithm may cause spurious retransmits, but the sender will
 continue making forward progress.
 
+# Computing the RTT estimate
+
+RTT is calculated when an ACK frame arrives by computing the difference between
+the current time and the time the largest acked packet was sent.  If the
+largest acked packet is not newly acknowledged, RTT cannot be calculated.
+
+When RTT is calculated, the ack delay field from the ACK frame SHOULD be limited
+to the max_ack_delay specified by the peer.  Limiting ack_delay to max_ack_delay
+ensures a peer specifying an extremely small max_ack_delay doesn't cause more
+spurious timeouts than a peer that correctly specifies max_ack_delay. It SHOULD
+be subtracted from the RTT as long as the result is larger than the Min RTT.
+If the result is smaller than the min_rtt, the RTT should be used, but the
+ack delay field should be ignored.

*facepalm* Of course.
