- * Appendix A.
- *
- * @dccpap_buf_head - circular buffer head
- * @dccpap_buf_tail - circular buffer tail
- * @dccpap_buf_ackno - ack # of the most recent packet acknowledgeable in the

- * @dccpap_buf_nonce - the one-bit sum of the ECN Nonces on all packets acked
- * 		       by the buffer with State 0
- *
- * Additionally, the HC-Receiver must keep some information about the
- * Ack Vectors it has recently sent. For each packet sent carrying an
- * Ack Vector, it remembers four variables:
- *
- * @dccpap_ack_seqno - the Sequence Number used for the packet
- * 		       (HC-Receiver seqno)
- * @dccpap_ack_ptr - the value of buf_head at the time of acknowledgement.
- * @dccpap_ack_ackno - the Acknowledgement Number used for the packet
- * 		       (HC-Sender seqno)
- * @dccpap_ack_nonce - the one-bit sum of the ECN Nonces for all State 0.
- *
- * @dccpap_buf_len - circular buffer length
- * @dccpap_time		- the time in usecs
- * @dccpap_buf - circular buffer of acknowledgeable packets
