[e2e] TEAR.

[Tianbo kuang]

Hi,

I was just about to ask a question about TEAR. It seems unclear to me how
TEAR calculates RTT in the technical report (TEAR: TCP emulation at
receivers - flow control for multimedia streaming). Does the sender
calculate it and send it to the receiver, or does the receiver calculate
it (and how?)? In section 3.5, it does mention under the title _timeout_
that, "this information is embedded in the packet header by the sender".
What does "this information" refer to?

Cheers,

--Tianbo
