message and calculate the RTT without the spin bit

My understanding is that you cannot.

Because the payload of the packets are encrypted, you cannot tell
which ACK packets sent by the client correspond to which packets sent
by the server. All you can observe is that something is flowing
steadily from the server to the client.


If there are timing gaps or traffic rate changes in the transmission, it is
not hard to associate packets with high probability. Gaps can occur due to
source task switching or when congestion control adapts the flow rate, or
when other connections appear or disappear. They can also appear due to
buffering in middle boxes.
