 * The design is inspired by the TcpCongestionOps class in ns-3. The fast
 * recovery is split from the main socket code, and it is a pluggable
 * component. Subclasses of TcpRecoveryOps should modify TcpSocketState variables
 * upon three condition:
 *
 * - EnterRecovery (when the first loss is guessed)
 * - DoRecovery (each time a duplicate ACK or an ACK with SACK information is received)
 * - ExitRecovery (when the sequence transmitted when the socket entered the
 * Recovery phase is ACKed, therefore ending phase).
 *
 * Each condition is represented by a pure virtual method.

 * the highest sequence transmitted at time of detecting the loss is
 * ACKed by the receiver).
