+ * FIXME: The code below is broken and the variables have been removed

+ * and with arsent there are several problems:
+ * (i) it doesn't just count the number of Acks, but all sent packets;
+ * (ii) it is expressed in # of packets, not # of windows, so the
+ * comparison below uses the wrong formula: Appendix A of RFC 4341
+ * comes up with the number K = cwnd / (R^2 - R) of consecutive windows
+ * of data with no lost or marked Ack packets. If arsent were the # of
+ * consecutive Acks received without loss, then Ack Ratio needs to be
+ * decreased by 1 when
+ * arsent >= K * cwnd / R = cwnd^2 / (R^3 - R^2)
+ * where cwnd / R is the number of Acks received per window of data
+ * (cf. RFC 4341, App. A). The problems are that
+ * - arsent counts other packets as well;
+ * - the comparison uses a formula different from RFC 4341;
+ * - computing a cubic/quadratic equation each time is too complicated.
+ * Hence a different algorithm is needed.
