/**
 * @ingroup socket
 * @ingroup tcp
 *
 * @brief A base class for implementation of a stream socket using TCP.
 *
 * This class contains the essential components of TCP, as well as a sockets
 * interface for upper layers to call. This class provides connection orientation
 * and sliding window flow control; congestion control is delegated to subclasses
 * of TcpCongestionOps. Part of TcpSocketBase is modified from the original
 * NS-3 TCP socket implementation (TcpSocketImpl) by
 * Raj Bhattacharjea <raj.b@gatech.edu> of Georgia Tech.
 *
 * For IPv4 packets, the TOS set for the socket is used. The Bind and Connect
 * operations set the TOS for the socket to the value specified in the provided
 * address. A SocketIpTos tag is only added to the packet if the resulting
 * TOS is non-null.
 * Each packet is assigned the priority set for the socket. Setting a TOS
 * for a socket also sets a priority for the socket (according to the
 * Socket::IpTos2Priority function). A SocketPriority tag is only added to the
 * packet if the priority is non-null.
 *
 * Congestion state machine
 * ---------------------------
 *
 * The socket maintains two state machines; the TCP one, and another called
 * "Congestion state machine", which keeps track of the phase we are in. Currently,
 * ns-3 manages the states:
 *
 * - CA_OPEN
 * - CA_DISORDER
 * - CA_RECOVERY
 * - CA_LOSS
 * - CA_CWR
 *
 * For more information, see the TcpCongState_t documentation.
 *
 * Congestion control interface
 * ---------------------------
 *
 * Congestion control, unlike older releases of ns-3, has been split from
 * TcpSocketBase. In particular, each congestion control is now a subclass of
 * the main TcpCongestionOps class. Switching between congestion algorithm is
 * now a matter of setting a pointer into the TcpSocketBase class. The idea
 * and the interfaces are inspired by the Linux operating system, and in
 * particular from the structure tcp_congestion_ops. The reference paper is
 * https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1569190X15300939.
 *
 * Transmission Control Block (TCB)
 * --------------------------------
 *
 * The variables needed to congestion control classes to operate correctly have
 * been moved inside the TcpSocketState class. It contains information on the
 * congestion window, slow start threshold, segment size and the state of the
 * Congestion state machine.
 *
 * To track the trace inside the TcpSocketState class, a "forward" technique is
 * used, which consists in chaining callbacks from TcpSocketState to TcpSocketBase
 * (see for example cWnd trace source).
 *
 * Fast retransmit
 * ----------------
 *
 * The fast retransmit enhancement is introduced in RFC 2581 and updated in RFC
 * 5681. It reduces the time a sender waits before retransmitting a lost segment,
 * through the assumption that if it receives a certain number of duplicate ACKs,
 * a segment has been lost and it can be retransmitted. Usually, it is coupled
 * with the Limited Transmit algorithm, defined in RFC 3042. These algorithms
 * are included in this class, and they are implemented inside the ProcessAck
 * method. With the SACK option enabled, the LimitedTransmit algorithm will be
 * always on, as a consequence of how the information in the received SACK block
 * is managed.
 *
 * The attribute which manages the number of dup ACKs necessary to start the
 * fast retransmit algorithm is named "ReTxThreshold", and by default is 3.
 * The parameter is also used in TcpTxBuffer to determine if a packet is lost
 * (please take a look at TcpTxBuffer documentation to see details) but,
 * right now, it is assumed to be fixed. In future releases this parameter can
 * be made dynamic, to reflect the reordering degree of the network. With SACK,
 * the next sequence to transmit is given by the RFC 6675 algorithm. Without
 * SACK option, the implementation adds "hints" to TcpTxBuffer to make sure it
 * returns, as next transmittable sequence, the first lost (or presumed lost)
 * segment.
 *
 * Fast recovery
 * -------------
 *
 * The fast recovery algorithm is introduced RFC 2001, and it avoids to reset
 * cWnd to 1 segment after sensing a loss on the channel. Instead, a new slow
 * start threshold value is asked to the congestion control (for instance,
 * with NewReno the returned amount is half of the previous), and the cWnd is
 * set equal to such value. Ns-3 does not implement any inflation/deflation to
 * the congestion window since it uses an evolved method (borrowed from Linux
 * operating system) to calculate the number of bytes in flight. The fundamental
 * idea is to subtract from the total bytes in flight the lost/sacked amount
 * (the segments that have left the network) and to add the retransmitted count.
 * In this way, congestion window represents the exact number of bytes that
 * should be in flight. The implementation then decides what to transmit, it
 * there is space, between new or already transmitted data portion. If a value
 * of the congestion window with inflation and deflation is needed, there is a
 * traced source named "CongestionWindowInflated". However, the variable behind
 * it is not used in the code, but maintained for backward compatibility.
 *
 * RTO expiration
 * --------------
 *
 * When the Retransmission Time Out expires, the TCP faces a significant
 * performance drop. The expiration event is managed in the ReTxTimeout method,
 * which set the cWnd to 1 segment and starts "from scratch" again. The list
 * of sent packet is set as lost entirely, and the transmission is re-started
 * from the SND.UNA sequence number.
 *
 * Options management
 * ------------------
 *
 * SYN and SYN-ACK options, which are allowed only at the beginning of the
 * connection, are managed in the DoForwardUp and SendEmptyPacket methods.
 * To read all others, we have set up a cycle inside ReadOptions. For adding
 * them, there is no a unique place, since the options (and the information
 * available to build them) are scattered around the code. For instance,
 * the SACK option is built in SendEmptyPacket only under certain conditions.
 *
 * SACK
 * ----
 *
 * The SACK generation/management is delegated to the buffer classes, namely
 * TcpTxBuffer and TcpRxBuffer. In TcpRxBuffer it is managed the creation
 * of the SACK option from the receiver point of view. It must provide an
 * accurate (and efficient) representation of the status of the receiver buffer.
 * On the other side, inside TcpTxBuffer the received options (that contain
 * the SACK block) are processed and a particular data structure, called Scoreboard,
 * is filled. Please take a look at TcpTxBuffer and TcpRxBuffer documentation if
 * you need more information. The reference paper is
 * https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3067666.
