huh. I always thought that non-ack-eliciting packet need not be ACK'ed *at 
all*, but that any sent ACKs (whether for ack-eliciting or non-ack-eliciting 
packets) would need to be sent within the max ACK delay.

Because if we allow non-ack-eliciting packets to be ACK'ed later than the max 
ACK delay, doesn't that inflate the RTT samples? (Because we only subtract out 
max_ack_delay?)

That's good, because I wasn't trying to day that :-)

Thanks,
Lars
