// Policy observes segment traffic and steers transmit behaviour: RTO,
// congestion control and the like (discussion #157). The tcp package holds no
// clock, so a Policy needing time carries its own (issue #140).
// Introspection stays off the interface; put it on the concrete type.

// Reset returns the Policy to its pre-connection state. Called on every
// (re)open and Abort. Must preserve configuration such as a clock.

// PreTx is called before writing to a frame.
// The outgoing frame options can be set by the Policy and will be respected if Frame offset >5.
// rtxFrom is ignored unless within [snd.UNA, snd.NXT] and returned retransmit==true.
// newTransmitLimit sets the maximum number of new bytes to send over the wire (congestion control).
// If not implementing congestion control then newTransmitLimit=[TransmitUnlimited].

// TODO: congestion control will also want the pre-Recv snd.UNA here.
